* 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.
*
