It doesn't matter if `function`s are being used less, they simply
aren't going away. There's plenty of people specifically relying on
`function` for certain purposes where arrow functions do not work.
Lets avoid getting arrows confused with functions.
```js
const prototype = /* ... get this prototype object from somewhere ... */
prototype.foo = function foo() {
// do something with `this`.
}
```
That sort of stuff (relying on non-arrows) isn't going away.
