   *
   * Common behavior
   *   * `new Date(x)` coerces x into a number and then returns a Date
   *     for that number of millis since the epoch
   *   * `new Date(NaN)` returns a Date object which stringifies to
   *     'Invalid Date'
   *   * `new Date(undefined)` returns a Date object which stringifies to
   *     'Invalid Date'
   *
   * OriginalDate (normal standard) behavior preserved by
   * `%InitialDate%`.
   *   * `Date(anything)` gives a string with the current time
   *   * `new Date()` returns the current time, as a Date object
   *
   * `%SharedDate%` behavior
   *   * `Date(anything)` throws a TypeError starting with "secure mode"
   *   * `new Date()` throws a TypeError starting with "secure mode"
   *
   * @param {{powers?: string}} [opts]
