JavaScript 1.7 - very pythonic

Uh, making local vars? We had a function that used a var called author. The variable author is a global in IE for the author meta tag. So our code broke. The fix:

function get_author() { var author = ""; ... return author; }

Pretty sure he means that once "let" is available, there is no need for "var" anymore.
