 * SUMMARY: Applying Function.prototype.call to the Function object itself
 *
 *
 * ECMA-262 15.3.4.4 Function.prototype.call (thisArg [,arg1 [,arg2,…] ] )
 *
 * When applied to the Function object itself, thisArg should be ignored.
 * As explained by Waldemar (waldemar@netscape.com):
 *
 * Function.call(obj, "print(this)") is equivalent to invoking
 * Function("print(this)") with this set to obj. Now, Function("print(this)")
 * is equivalent to new Function("print(this)") (see 15.3.1.1), and the latter
 * ignores the this value that you passed it and constructs a function
 * (which we'll call F) which will print the value of the this that will be
 * passed in when F will be invoked.
 *
 * With the last set of () you're invoking F(), which means you're calling it
 * with no this value. When you don't provide a this value, it defaults to the
 * global object.
 *
