Weirdness going on in nodejs's fs.lstat() gives an "fs.Stats" object, but saying "blah instanceof fs.Stats" evaluates to false.

fs.Stats is a function, not a class or whatever... the real object returned is actually a "fs.StatsBase" which is hidden somewhere inaccessible. Only way I've found to do it is by finding a known fs.lstat() response, getting that object's prototype, then asking if the the object uses that prototype... THere's some wild history here and I wanna know how it got this way.
