What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Run the following JavaScript (in Dev Console, or load attached):

  function(t){console.log(t);}.bind(null,3)();

What is the expected result? Console outputs "3".

What happens instead? The following error:
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token (

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

If we try the following:
(A) Assign an LVALUE:
  result = function(t){console.log(t);}.bind(null,3)();

(B) Put () around function:
  (function(t){console.log(t);}).bind(null,3)();

(C) Put () around bind function
  (function(t){console.log(t);}.bind)(null,3)();

Then this correctly prints 3 and evaluates undefined.

Since (A) is commonly used, it's rather surprising that without an LVALUE the parser fails.
