I guess I still don’t understand the use case for applying there built-in 
F.p.toString to any callable.  If you are explicitly defining a callable proxy 
you may want to define a `toString` method for it that does something that 
makes sense for the specific kind of callable you are creating. But when you 
expect to do:

```js
   evalableString = Function.prototype.toString.call(anyOldCallable);
```

with the expectation that the result you are going to get will be useful for 
anything?
