/**
    File Name:          11.2.2-4-n.js
    ECMA Section:       11.2.2. The new operator
    Description:

    MemberExpression:
        PrimaryExpression
        MemberExpression[Expression]
        MemberExpression.Identifier
        new MemberExpression Arguments

    new NewExpression

    The production NewExpression : new NewExpression is evaluated as follows:

   1.   Evaluate NewExpression.
   2.   Call GetValue(Result(1)).
   3.   If Type(Result(2)) is not Object, generate a runtime error.
   4.   If Result(2) does not implement the internal [[Construct]] method,
        generate a runtime error.
   5.   Call the [[Construct]] method on Result(2), providing no arguments
        (that is, an empty list of arguments).
   6.   If Type(Result(5)) is not Object, generate a runtime error.
   7.   Return Result(5).

    The production MemberExpression : new MemberExpression Arguments is evaluated as follows:

   1.   Evaluate MemberExpression.
   2.   Call GetValue(Result(1)).
   3.   Evaluate Arguments, producing an internal list of argument values
        (section 0).
   4.   If Type(Result(2)) is not Object, generate a runtime error.
   5.   If Result(2) does not implement the internal [[Construct]] method,
        generate a runtime error.
   6.   Call the [[Construct]] method on Result(2), providing the list
        Result(3) as the argument values.
   7.   If Type(Result(6)) is not Object, generate a runtime error.
   8    .Return Result(6).
