I think it should be best practice to name immediately invoked functions (often anonymous), here's why...
Raw
name_your_anonymous_functions.js
// Execute this and look at your console errors.
// this ...
(function __I_HAVE_A_NAME_NOW__ () {
// deliberate error
catchMeIfYouCan();
})();
// ... debugs far better this anonymous function
(function /* __I_HAVE_A_NAME_NOW__ */ () {
// deliberate error
catchMeIfYouCan();
})();
