There is a reason why that issue with IIFEs can be hit, and it's because you've omitted some semicolons - granted they are the sort that most people omit.

Since everything in js is a statement the correct semi-colon syntax for the above is

  function hasSemicolons() {
    console.log('hello world');
  };

  (function() {
    console.log('this is broken, JS will call hasSemicolons()');
  })();

The ECMAScript specification (https://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-S...) has statements in a separate chapter from function declarations. (Chapter 14) Furthermore, the function declaration grammar does not contain a semi-colon, unlike other statements.
