Comment #6 on issue 617 by erights: Function.prototype.apply does not work for RegExps
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=617
At the 9/2010 EcmaScript meeting, I just talked to Brendan Eich of Mozilla and Oliver Hunt of Apple about their intents regarding the future callability of RegExps. They both said they intend to eventually retire the callability of RegExps and should coordinate schedules.
As recorded at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582717#c7 I would be happy to help coordinate synchronizing this cleanup with v8 as well. Once RegExps are not callable, their typeof must be "object" and there would be no need to "fix" Function.prototype.* to work with RegExps.
