The function hoister moves all function definitions to the end of the topmost block. This is
a semantically equivalent transformation as long as it is performed after the
disambiguation stage. The reason is that moving a definition upwards cannot decrease

its visibility and it is impossible to reference variables defined in a different function.
The benefit of this stage is that function definitions can be looked up more easily.
