true
I think this should be 'false'

The test case described above is correct, however the second test case in this file is not,
'o instanceof o' should thow an exception. According to ECMA-262:
8.6.2 Internal Properties and Methods:
"... only Function objects implement [[HasInstance]]"
11.8.6 The instanceof operator:
"6.If Result(4) does not have a [[HasInstance]] method, throw a TypeError exception."
{} does not implement [[HasInstance]] (since it is not a function), so passing it as the
constructor to be tested to instanceof should result in a TypeError being thrown.
