Research direction

Reproduce the reported JavaScript snippet and inspect how static-eval processes var statements containing an uninitialized declaration. Confirm the failure, then verify that the example with uninitialized and initialized variables evaluates without throwing while preserving the existing behavior referenced by #10.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I can't bulkify code that looks like this because static-eval is throwing:

var uninitialized
  , bulk = require('bulk-require')
  , _ = require('lodash')
  , conditions = bulk(__dirname, ['/*'])

Once I initialize the variable in the var statement, i get #10
