An array with no prototype wouldn't have any of the iteration methods on
it; a function with no prototype wouldn't have .call/.bind/.apply - length
and name are own properties of functions, and length is an own property of
an array, so you'd get those regardless.
(`Array.from({ length: 1000 })` already creates an array of length 1000
without holes, fwiw)
