Description Peter Kim 2009-03-20 03:14:53 PDT 
typeof /someregexp/ returns 'function'.

expected value is 'regexp'

in firefox, 'object' is returned.
Comment 1 Peter Kim 2009-03-20 06:36:57 PDT 
looks like the consensus is that it should return 'object'

see discussion in mozilla bugzilla:

Ironically, this was originally done for compatibility with Mozilla. Bug 22082 suggests that we should change it back.
