not quite. The last of your tests (getYear) will still fail because fakeDate
is not internally branded as a date.
See
http://people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html#sec-date.prototype.getyear
step 1 and the definition of "this time value" in
http://people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html#sec-properties-of-the-date-prototype-object
(BTW, did you intentionally pick an Annex B Date method?)
