At the ES language level, the real question is whether the instanceof operator has a single semantics regardless of which objects it is applied to or whether it is an overloadable operator whose meaning is determined by its RHS operand. We should make a clear cut choice between those to alternatives. The legacy ES specification goes in the direction of the overloadable alternative.
