IMO "console.log" is no more special than, for example, "performance.now", which also does not work being called unbound.

Actually, "performance.now" does seem even more confusing to me, since there is a similar static "Date.now" that works if called unbound. For example, the following code, that did happen in my practice, will not work as expected in WebKit:

var tick = (window.webkitPerformance || window.performance || Date).now;
var start = tick();
//...
var time = tick() - start;


I don't have a strong position whether to allow unbound console.log or not, but at least we'd better be consistent with similar APIs, like performance.now
