Description
After the PR https://github.com/rescript-lang/rescript-compiler/pull/6945 function expressions were changed to arrow functions to improve readability and bundle-size. But it also broke this and arguments binding to the function context, which could be accessed via %raw("this") when needed for some advanced logic.
I need it for rescript-schema, so I think introducing an attribute @functionExpression to opt-out from arrow functions would be a good solution.
