var fnName = function fnName...

[Morten Sjøgren]

I've seen the following code many times and find it to be rather poor coding style, is it possible to have jshint give a warning about it?

var fnName = function fnName( e ) {

   // do stuff

};

I don't think there is a good reason to write the function like that so I change it to the following every time I can.

var fnName = function( e ) {

   // do stuff

};

But I would like to get a warning about from jshint, is that possible?

The first style is useful when you want your stack traces to have real function names and not (anonymous). SpiderMonkey can figure it out the real name even without that but its a very recent addition. Not sure about other engines.
