Safari: forEach has problems with childNodes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The forEach-function doesn't work nicely with a DOM NodeList, because the
typeof a childNodes collection is reported a function.

Testcase:
typeof document.body.childNodes=="function"

Workaround:
Because of that, the forEach.Function variant of forEach is used. A
workaround is to use the array-variant directly:

forEach.Array(document.body.childNodes...

Is there a solution? Like giving the '''typeof object.length == "number"'''
test a higher priority?

Tested Safari: Version 2.0.4 (419.3)
Webkit revision 24064 (dd2007-07-06) has the same behaviour

Same goes for Safari Version 3.0.2 (522.12)

Promoting the 'typeof object.length == "number"' clause will not will work as
functions also have a length property (as do strings).

I amended the instanceOf() function to look for object.call. The global forEach
function now uses instanceOf() to detect functions instead of typeof.
