Using the prototype object here:

Object.prototype.toString.call(Uint8Array.prototype).slice(8,-1))

But it's really usecase dependent, sorry for the noise

It's a who-cares for sure -- typed arrays are rolling, even in IE10 (could someone please test the above there). But implementors if not users, and of course the spec, must care.

js> var list = [Array, Boolean, Date, Error, Function, JSON, Math, Number, Object, RegExp, String] js> for (cls of list) if ('prototype' in cls) print(cls.name, cls.prototype.valueOf())
Array
Boolean false
Date NaN
Error Error
Function function () {
}
Number 0
Object [object Object]
RegExp /(?:)/
String

If the way to reconcile things is to make it unobservable whether C.prototype is a firstborn instance of C (possibly degenerate/useless) or an Object with @@toStringTag and any other such symbol-named decorations to satisfy observable equivalence, then we should do so for new built-ins too, including the typed array constructors folded into binary data.
