| Every built-in constructor should behave as if defined inside a class, throwing a *TypeError* exception when called as a function (without NewTarget). For backwards compatibility with past editions, this does not apply to %Collator%, %NumberFormat%, or %DateTimeFormat%, each of which construct and return a new object when called as a function. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
It always bugs me that NewTarget goes without special quotes or between underscores in the spec source code. Although, this remains correct.
