Using "use strict" in JavaScript

Using Firefox, as of this writing, version 12.0. Here's a tiny part of using "use strict" syntax in JavaScript.

without "use strict",


var x = 17;
var evalX = eval("var x = 42; x");
alert(x === 17); // results to false
alert(x === 42); // results to true
alert(evalX === 42); // results to true

with "use strict",

var x = 17;

var evalX = eval("'use strict'; var x = 42; x");

alert(x === 17); // results to true

alert(x === 42); // results to false

alert(evalX === 42); // results to true
