Research direction
Open the function-prototype page and review the summary statement about F.prototype alongside the linked MDN explanation. Clarify the documented behavior when a function's prototype is null or another non-object value, then update the summary so it is consistent with the page's explanation and MDN reference.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
https://javascript.info/function-prototype - on this page in the summary we have this statement:
The value of F.prototype should be either an object or null: other values won’t work.
But here we have this statement:
If the prototype of a function is reassigned with something other than an Object, when the function is called with new, the returned object's prototype would be Object.prototype instead. (In other words, new ignores the prototype property and constructs a plain object.)
So I think it's worth mentioning that F.prototype can be equal to null only when Object.prototype, but when you set prototype for F.prototype it's not possible.
