no-use-before-define does not understand functions

If the variable is declared after declaration of the function, and it’s used inside the function, no-use-before-define will complain about it, even if the function is invoked after variable definition:

function a() {
   alert(b);
}
var b=0;
a();

@michaelficarra The behavior I describe is how the latedef option works in JSHint, which is what this rule was designed to mimic. You can turn the rule off if it doesn’t apply to your code.

@nzakas: The ramification would then be that you can’t define mutually recursive functions. This rule reintroduces the classic letrec problem.
