[[Construct]] of Function.prototype is not standardized. The definition of Function.prototype does not define the expected behavior for [[Call]] or [[Construct]]. Instead, there is a description of what happens when it is invoked:
| 15.3.4 Properties of the Function Prototype Object | The Function prototype object is itself a Function | object (its [[Class]] is "Function") that, when | invoked, accepts any arguments and returns undefined. Should Function.prototype implement [[Construct]]? Either way, the specification should state the outcome. Trying it out: javascript: alert( new Function.prototype ); IE 6-8: Error: Object doesn't support this action Other browsers tested return an Object, indicating the [[Construct]] is implemented. The specification should state whether or not Function.prototype implements [[Construct]], to clarify expected outcome, and to encourage consistent implementations.
