Point.prototype, but not the other way around.

> The problem is this that when you do prototypical inheritance using
constructors you usually call the superclass before any of the subclass
constructor code. So if you just seal(this) in the constructor of the
superclass the subclass can't add properties to the object.

function Person(name) {
  this.name = name;
  Object.seal(this);
  console.log(this instanceof Person, Object.getPrototypeOf(this) ===
Person.prototype); // true false when doing new Pirate()
}

function Pirate() {
  Person.apply(this, arguments);
  this.eyepatch = true;
}
Pirate.prototype = Object.create(Person.prototype);

var captain = new Pirate('Blackbeard');
console.log(captain.eyepatch); // undefined
