The backbone.js source code uses a function wrapper like this:
(function(){
...
}).call(this);
as seen at http://backbonejs.org/docs/backbone.html#section-185.
Much more often, I've seen the following used instead:
(function(){
...
})();
When does the behavior of these two differ? I was under the impression that they were equivalent, but I assume that there must be a difference given that Backbone uses .call(this) instead of the shorter alternative.
