Research direction
Start by comparing Esprima's handling of a function body with the ECMAScript 2021 function-definitions section and the linked ECMAScript 5.1 section. Identify the parser behavior or AST distinction that conflicts with those specifications; done means the implementation conforms to both references and has coverage for the corrected behavior.
