arguments.callee alternative

Question

As arguments.callee is going to be deprecated, what would I use of instead of arguments.callee` in the following expression:

var self = this;

this.async(function(){
  if(test()){
    then();
  }else{
    self.async(arguments.callee);
  }
});

This should work. But i'm not sure if it works in all browsers.

var self = this;

this.async(function someMethod(){
  if(test()){
    then();
  }else{
    self.async(someMethod);
  }
});

The famous [Kangax article](http://kangax.github.com/nfe/) details the bugs/quirks, but generally it'll still work. – I Hate Lazy Nov 24 '12 at 15:00
