Loved the promise and seal patterns! Have used them before but never studied this closely. Minor nitpicks about new_constructor: 1. The behaviour of "func" is not identical to "new" because the "initializer" function could have a return value which would have to replace "that" if the instance were created by "new". 2. The style could be improved by naming the function "Constructor" and calling it as "new Constructor(...)". This would identically work because it returns "func" and not an instance of "Constructor".
