Mathias Bynens 8ee50178f3 Avoid confusing prototype methods for static methods
Correct: `Array.from()` (it’s a static method)
Incorrect: `Array.join()` (doesn’t exist; it’s a prototype method)

This patch uses the common `#` syntax to denote `.prototype.`.

### pullBy
Mutates the original array to filter out the values specified, based on a given iterator function.
Check if the last argument provided in a function.
Use `Array.prototype.map()` to apply the iterator function `fn` to all array elements.
Use `Array.prototype.filter()` and `Array.prototype.includes()` to pull out the values that are not needed.
Use `Array.prototype.length = 0` to mutate the passed in an array by resetting it's length to zero and `Array.prototype.push()` to re-populate it with only the pulled values.
```js
const pullBy = (arr, ...args) => {
const length = args.length;
let fn = length > 1 ? args[length - 1] : undefined;
fn = typeof fn == 'function' ? (args.pop(), fn) : undefined;
let argState = (Array.isArray(args[0]) ? args[0] : args).map(val => fn(val));
let pulled = arr.filter((v, i) => !argState.includes(fn(v)));
arr.length = 0;
pulled.forEach(v => arr.push(v));
};
```
```js
var myArray = [{ x: 1 }, { x: 2 }, { x: 3 }, { x: 1 }];
pullBy(myArray, [{ x: 1 }, { x: 3 }], o => o.x); // myArray = [{ x: 2 }]
```
