If you run this in the chrome console:

console.log.apply(null, [array])

Chrome gives you back an error:

// TypeError: Illegal Invocation

Why? (Tested on Chrome 15 via OSX)

It may not work in cases when execution context changed from console to any other object:

This is expected because console.info expects its this reference to
be console, not window.
console.info(stuff)

stuff

undefined

console.info.call(this, stuff)

TypeError: Illegal invocation

console.info.call(console, stuff)

stuff

undefined
This behavior is expected.
