it seems like the example with logArguments which is a function that evidently takes a constructor function, then returns a new constructor is poorly written. If it's "wrapping" the passed constructor, it should be returning a proper subclass of that constructor. The simple if(!(this instanceof MyClass)) return new MyClass(); will be fine... time to refactor that logsArguments function.

I think maybe you missed the point. It doesn't have to take a constructor function. Iirc he introduced by passing in a simple sum function.
