`Object.getPrototypeOf` and `Object.setPrototypeOf` works everywhere,
including null objects, as long as extension hasn't been prevented (
`Objet.freeze`, `Object.seal` or `Object.preventExtension` )
It's `__proto__` accessor that indeed doesn't work as expected in null
object, where it's always stored as key.
```js
var dict = Object.create(null);
dict.__proto__ = [];
Object.keys(dict); // ["__proto__"]
dict instanceof Array; // false
Object.setPrototypeOf(dict, []);
dict instanceof Array; // true
```
However, if you want the key `"__proto__"` you can specify it at string at
runtime `{"__proto__": "this way"}` or use `Object.defineProperty(obj,
"__proto__", {value: "any"})`
