WebKit nightlies don't allow callable RegExps anymore -- I haven't yet heard of any fallout from this change.
I just verified on Safari Version 5.0.1 (5533.17.8, r78038). They're still callable on Minefield 4.0b12pre (the FF4 nightly) but Brendan has previously indicated that he plans to change that.
Needs ES5 label. Since this is the info we were waiting on, I think the PendingFurtherInfo tag can be removed and we can reopen this.
Also, on WebKit nightlies, FF4, and Opera, typeof /x/ === 'object'. Obviously, this should also happen when RegExps become uncallable.
