javascript - 为什么 MDN 的 `Object.create` polyfill 没有设置 `prototype.constructor` ？

Question

考虑 MDN's Object.create polyfill :

if (typeof Object.create != 'function') {
  (function () {
    var F = function () {};
    Object.create = function (o) {
      if (arguments.length > 1) { throw Error('Second argument not supported');}
      if (o === null) { throw Error('Cannot set a null [[Prototype]]');}
      if (typeof o != 'object') { throw TypeError('Argument must be an object');}
      F.prototype = o;
      return new F();
    };
  })();
}

特别关注这两行:

F.prototype = o;
return new F();

我想知道，为什么设置F.prototype.constructor = F;不合适？

F.prototype = o;
F.prototype.constructor = F;  // why not?
return new F();

Answer 1

I was wondering, why isn't it appropriate to set F.prototype.constructor = F;?

F 是一个临时函数，似乎是故意的，无法从 Object.create 外部引用它。
