This does work for all Native class, but still returns "[object Object] "
for user created classes
`Object.getPrototypeOf({}) === Object.prototype // true`
Did not know of that method. Seems like a roundabout way, but it works.
`Object.prototype.isPrototypeOf(o)`
Doesn't seem to differentiate between Literals and non-Literals.
Guylian's solution solves my main issue, so definitely not worth breaking a
lot of code for.
I can see the possibility of someone wanting to extend the prototype for
Object Literals only, and not all Objects, but that can also be
accomplished by making a new class. So again, not a great reason for
breaking code.
Thanks for the responses
