You're right, it's not instanceof. But I definitely think the argument 
can be made that there is a need for checking if something is of a 
certain class. I'm finding myself wanting things like `isGenerator` and 
`isGeneratorFunction`, for example. There's countless examples of people 
re-purposing Object.prototype.toString to serve this functionality ad hoc.

You're right, it's not `instanceof`. But I definitely think the argument
