Error on strict mode

See original GitHub issue

I got this error with the code expect(value).to.be.null that run on strict mode. chai-error-strict-mode

P/s. I’m using chai@3.4.1 installed via npm install chai.

Hey @lucasfcosta, I’m not sure I understand this. What is exactly the final decision then? I think the arguments.callee still should be replaced with:

flag(this, 'ssfi', stack || Assertion)

The only thing I wouldn’t include is the 'use strict'; part on the top of every file. This way no bugs would be introduced, everything would still work as expected and lazy people like me could use --use_strict without any error message.

I checked a few things and I think it might be best if the 'use strict'; were not included. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16871050/inconsistent-scope-of-use-strict-on-different-web-browsers-concerning-argumen The linked jsfiddle fails in Firefox, so if somebody extends chai in some weird way it could cause problems for them.
