Description
I just ran the tests from current master in Gnome Web 50.6. All tests passed except for `_.delay`:
It seems to run the assertions as intended initially, but then there is this cryptic error about global variables (which I could not find in the source code) and apparently an unexpected third assertion is run. I have a hunch this is due to a WebKit bug or a Gnome Web bug, but it deserves some investigation.

Research direction
Start by running the _.delay test in Gnome Web 50.6 and compare its behavior with the other browsers mentioned by the test suite. Trace the reported global-variable error and unexpected third assertion; done means identifying whether the failure is in Underscore or WebKit/Gnome Web and recording or addressing the result.
