So it should probably read one of:-

1) If callbackfn does not implement [[Call]], throw a TypeError.
2) If callbackfn is not a function, throw a TypeError

There is also an absence of top-level generics:-

Array.forEach

- This avoids having to write:-

[].forEach.call( nodeList, fun );

Note on host objects:
Whether the forEach function can be applied successfully to a host
object is implementation -dependent.
- support Array Generics for host object, for example, a DOM NodeList
in abstract view.

[].sort.call( ul.getElementsByTagName("li"), byName );
