Douglas Crockford, is that you? Oh the lengths people will go to avoid using 'new'... I wonder if any linters out there warn when they see something like: something = SomeCapitalizedFunction() Because forgetting to use 'new' is really the only thing I could think of that makes this pattern dangerous.

Yes, jslint and jshint both do, by default, iirc. They'll also warn on the opposite (using 'new' with a function that doesn't start with an uppercase letter).
