dolog() is not a built-in function in any ECMAScript implementations that
I know.  That leaves one to *guess* what *your* dolog(…) does (presumably, 
“({}).toString.call(…)”.)

That you can create an object which inherits from another does not mean that 
you can use it like the other; this is particulary true of host objects as 
this one.  If subclassing does not work either (or cannot be assumed to be 
available), create a wrapper object.  If available, you can use “Proxy” 
(ECMAScript 2015+) or “__noSuchMethod__” (Mozilla JavaScript 43+ only, 
obsolete) to implement seamless access.
