Is there a non-strict setting for the eval() function?

[Walter Higgins]

Hi,

In JRE6/7 I can run code like this...

scriptEngine.eval(' age = 5 ');

... but in Nashorn the following fails ( ReferenceError) ...

eval( ' age = 5' );

Is there a way to make the native eval() function provided by Nashorn not
be so strict?
