Consider the following code, which produces lint warnings:

> function f() {
>     arguments.callee; // 'arguments.callee' is deprecated.
> }

> (function() {
>     arguments.callee; // 'arguments.callee' is deprecated.
> }());

The warnings can be eliminated by replacing 'arguments.callee' with a reference to the specific function it refers to:

> function f() {
>     f;
> }

> (function __func0() {
>     __func0;
> }());

The idea being
* arguments.callee always binds to the enclosing function.
* When the "callee" function is anonymous, we generate a fresh (unbound) symbol and name it: __func0, __func1, ...

We should provide a quick fix for this. It should work in pretty much every case, barring dynamic hax like eval and the Function() constructor.
