Bug Report

Current Behavior
Sometimes variable renaming leads to wrong behavior. In this example:

let x = () => {};

{
  let x = () => {};

  console.log(x.name);
}

The compiler result will be:

"use strict";

var x = function x() {};

{
  var _x = function _x() {};

  console.log(_x.name);
}

And the output will be _x instead of correct x

Environment

  • Babel version(s): 7.3.3
  • Node/npm version: 8.9
  • How you are using Babel: babeljs.io/repl

Possible Solution
Compile let using closure instead of renaming
