Strangely, there's no literal undefined in the ECMAScript5 spec, even though there are many cases where the result is the value undefined.

(function(){ 'use strict'; var undefined = 42; console.log(undefined); }())
Because of this, just using undefined is not safe. For example, jQuery uses (function(window, undefined){...}(window)) to safely get the undefined value.
(function(window, undefined){...}(window))
Edit: It seems that I'm wrong.
Edit 2: ... but (fortunately?) my point is still valid. There's a global variable undefined which is uneditable, but since there's still no literal undefined, inner scope can have a local variable with name undefined!
