In your first example under the "Recursive anonymous function" you do not need to use callee at all. Due to Lexical Scoping, you have access to the count variable from within the function.

var count = function(i) {
if (i <= 10) {
console.log(i);
count(i+1);
}
}

count(1);

Your solution leaks memory in IE.

(BTW, you might want to replace the code comment “// this is deprecated” with “// this throws an error” or something…)

Though not technically deprecated in ECMAscript 5 access to arguments.caller and arguments.callee now throw an exception in strict mode.

So splitting heirs regardless, you may want to avoid using it.
