No, because you can't construct `new Arguments()` (Arguments is undefined),
leaving A undefined at step 15.c, which means step 16 evaluates to true,
which leads to 16.a and that produces an Array.

This is a good question, if NodeList has an internal [[Construct]] it will
pass the IsConstructor test and then throw a TypeError exception as soon as
15.c.i occurs. Based on my interpretation of the steps in
OrdinaryConstruct, it wouldn't survive. Maybe Allen can clarify?
Also, this is the exact pain point case that Array.from was designed to
address, but existing code shouldn't break in the interim.
