No there isn't. There is an implicit binding of a variable called "this" 
based on the syntactic sugar of whether you're calling a function as 
method on an object or not.

In "strict" mode, this has been redefined to be "undefined" (i.e., there 
is no object) for when you're not - otherwise it will be a binding to 
the global "document" object (and in Node.js, I think something else 
entirely. It's a mess ...).

You're not wrong ;)
