For example, if I do this:

var q = document.querySelectorAll;

q('body');

I get an "Illegal invocation" error in Chrome. I can't think of any reason why this is necessary. For one, it's not the case with all native code functions. In fact I can do this:

var o = Object; // which is a native code function

var x = new o();

And everything works just fine. In particular I've discovered this problem when dealing with document and console. Any thoughts?
