Object.create only creates "normal" objects, not arrays, functions, dates, etc.

Same is true of `__proto__` in object literals.

The benefit of `__proto__` in literals is the succinctness of it. Using `Object.create` to create new objects requires using descriptors which are horribly verbose.


    Circle.prototype = {
      __proto__: Shape,
      constructor: Circle,
      /* etc. */
    };

This becomes much less important with classes.
