What problem do you want to solve?

Split off from: eslint/eslint#19695 (comment)

Right now, implicit globals aren't actually treated as globals. Instead, they're treated as unresolved. Example:

function test() {
  implicitGlobal = 123; // creates an implicit global in JS, unresolved in eslint-scope
  implicitGlobal;  // no relationship to implicitGlobal in the previous line in eslint-scope
}

That means we aren't able to track implicit globals like we do explicit globals.

What do you think is the correct solution?

We should consider whether assignment to an implicit global should create a global variable declaration in eslint-scope.
