That is _not_ the “class name”, it is the value of the internal “[[Class]]” 
property of values.  “[[Class]]” is purely a Specification mechanism and 
does not need to be implemented in a way other than to satisfy the 
algorithms of the Specification.

This is written shorter, less error-prone, more efficient, and actually 
readable

  (({}).toString.call(object).match(/\[object\s+(.+)\s*\]/) || [])[0]

  var n = Math.PI;
