Issue 1064 - Type parameters of named value functions - haxe

[Google Issue #1064 : https://code.google.com/p/haxe/issues/detail?id=1064]

class Main {
    static public function main() {
        var f = function test() { };
    }
}

I think this should be disallowed.

Flash9: Main.hx:3: characters 10-29 : Stack error
neko: Main.hx(3): Variable declaration must be done inside a block

This is a bit more subtle than that : every expression in Haxe returns a value, so this should be also the same for "function test() {}"

We could however type the expression as Void in case there is a name defined.

And maybe forbid the storage of Void into a var. This could break some existing code but is maybe not working on all platforms anyway (?) - to test.

$type(f) is Void already, so trying to actually call it will give an earlier error.

Not sure if there are legitimate cases for Void variables, it doesn't make much sense in pure haxe context.

class Main {
    static public function main() {
        var f = function test(t:T) { };
        f("foo"); // String should be localfun.T
    }
}

Can we support it? If not we have to give a proper error.
