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.`.

### findKey
Returns the first key that satisfies the provided testing function. Otherwise `undefined` is returned.
Use `Object.keys(obj)` to get all the properties of the object, `Array.prototype.find()` to test the provided function for each key-value pair. The callback receives three arguments - the value, the key and the object.
```js
const findKey = (obj, fn) => Object.keys(obj).find(key => fn(obj[key], key, obj));
```
```js
findKey(
{
barney: { age: 36, active: true },
fred: { age: 40, active: false },
pebbles: { age: 1, active: true }
},
o => o['active']
); // 'barney'
```
