Why is the QScriptable object used as a constructor? You can't actually
call it to construct objects.

Right, setting the prototype won't help because the object has to
implement [[HasInstance]] before any other conditions (i.e. the
prototype object) are considered.
If you really want to keep the current design (i.e. have the actual
script work as before) you could subclass QScriptClass, implement the
HasInstance extension, and have the QScriptClass instance be a proxy to
the QScriptable object. Not something I would ordinarily do, though. ;-)
If you don't want to change the constructor to be a normal function,
maybe the QScriptable can have an isA() function that scripts should use
instead of the instanceof operator?
