ES5 (11.4.3) requires that  both native (ie, pure actual ECMAScript objects) and host objects that implement [[Call]] produce "function" when typeof is applied to them.  This is a change from ES3 that did not impose this requirement upon host object objects.

Why is this an approximation? In ES5, how can
    typeof x === 'function'
differ from testing whether something is callable?
