Nah, cheap shot. Let's reason together, not join taboo words.

The built-ins do what they do and it could be considered a botch to abandon, but then there's still a scar lying between old and new built-ins. And classes have to do one or both (we may want to self-host built-ins with classes).

Thus the quest (not mine alone) to make it unobservable whether the builtin constructor's prototype is a degenerate firstborn or a dressed-up Object instance.
