    It may not work in cases when execution context changed from console to any other object:

    This is expected because console.info expects its “this” reference to
    be console, not window.

    console.info("stuff")
stuff
undefined
console.info.call(this, "stuff")
TypeError: Illegal invocation
console.info.call(console, "stuff")
stuff
undefined

    This behavior is expected.
