Subj : Strange ".constructor" behaviour -- I don't understand something, but what?!

  Every object has constructor. Object's prototype is resolved as it's
constructor "prototype" property. It is Ok.

  So, try this:

function Class() {}
var c = Class();
print(c.constructor);

 Yes, it outputs "function Class() {}". It is Ok. It is exactly what I
expect.

 Add some methods to this class:

function Class() {}
Class.prototype = { method: function() {} };
var c = Class();
print(c.constructor);

  And output will be "function Object() { [native code] }".
  But WHY?! How could I get constructor of some object, which have
prototype?
