Store reference to `call` function

Question

I noticed something curious earlier today. I can\'t seem to store a reference to the call property of a function, then execute it. Example:

var

You need to keep the binding to console. Try this:

var logCall = console.log.call.bind(console.log);
// example: logCall(console, "foobar");

or

var log = console.log.bind(console);
// example: log("foobar");

For a bound reference to log.
