Yes, I corrected this in a follow-up. But internal functions by that
definition are native Function objects, so they are not relevant to
the argument about host objects. They only differ from non-internal
Function objects by having a [[Call]] method that executes non-ECMAScript
code, and by being excluded from the discussion of Execution Contexts in
chapter 10.
