I use:

     function isTypeOf(obj, typeToCheck) {
         if (arguments.length < 2) {
             return false;
         }
         return Object.prototype.toString.call(obj).slice(8, 
-1).toLowerCase() === typeToCheck.toLowerCase();
     }

which gives me more precisely a type of object.

The Object.defineProperties says about object, but function, array are 
also objects. That's why:

   if (typeof obj !== 'object' || obj === null)
     throw new TypeError('bad obj');

looks like a bug to me.
