If may be strange because of the asymmetry but I'd actually prefer `if` to be come first all the time and `unless` to come last all the time - precisely because `unless` reads like it's for exceptional circumstances: value = cache[key]

It seems that fromPrototype is missing a line: return newObject; 'man' and 'jeremy' are objects, not functions.
