Note that this unobservable mutation occurs before the function object is
available to script.

Because UnaryExpression may evaluate to a reference to an existing object, in
which the mutation of 'constructor' from not-own to defined is observable,
Mutation of operator operands apart from ++, +=, 'delete' and the like is a bad
idea. Some object to .{ on this basis. 'class' unary prefix would be even more
unusual.
