If you are looking for isClass or similar you can also rely on
`Function.prototype.toString` decompilation, which is de facto consistent.
```js
const isClass = (fn) =>
typeof fn === 'function' &&
!isClass.toString.call(fn).indexOf('class ');
```
Of course if you transpile code, including classes, that'd be useless (but
then you'll have many other problems anyway)
