The ECMAScript spec says
(http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/5.1/#sec-10.5) that
declaring an already declared variable is silently ignored, so claiming
it's a TypeError is not correct. It should still be highlighted as a
warning because it's not something that any program should do and with
let redeclaration actually is a TypeError.
"Compilation produced %s syntax errors.")
(js2-msg "msg.var.redecl"
- "TypeError: redeclaration of var %s.")
+ "Redeclaration of var %s.")
(js2-msg "msg.const.redecl"
"TypeError: redeclaration of const %s.")
