+1 on that, which suggests [[NativeBrandMatch]] instead of 
[[InstanceofMatch]].

Your proposal is more general but I think we should extend HasInstance 
only very concretely, with what's needed for WebIDL, and probably for 
any such system that reflects nominal types.

Cc'ing Tom in case he missed this thread, including your message to 
which I am replying here.

(Nit: the 'o' in 'of' should be capitalized if we do use the name you 
suggested.)
