It's very likely someone did const e = new Error('bad stuff happened') e.name = 'MyError' without actually creating a MyError class to check with instance

It's very likely someone did
const e = new Error('bad stuff happened')
e.name = 'MyError'
without actually creating a MyError class to check with instanceof.
