In general, ES6 has new syntax, so this is a "learn it and use it" bump, 
one of many.

new.target in the proposal (which does not yet have consensus) evaluates 
to an object, but (new) is a syntax error as in ES1-5.

Yeah, it's a bit odd to grab new.identifier syntax-space and start by 
defining only new.target. Alternatives welcome. new^ already got an 
anti-grawlix reaction, new? did too (perhaps less but still).
