I one time, it used to be possible to execute methods of one built-in object with the "this" pointing to another object. It was a (bad) bug that allowed that to work and when it didn't work, it was bad too.
Here are the details:

So, I'm guessing that the menushell experiment is using Object.apply() incorrectly and that needs to be fixed.
