I have used __proto__ simply because it allows for a feature nothing else has: to change the [[Prototype]] of a callable / constructor.
This isn't the same as "with" or other backward-compatibility hacks. It's a feature that I need to fake out some other code that uses "instanceof" and also be callable. If there's a better way to do this, please let me know.
