Why?

Function.prototype.bind is normally sufficient; however, there are situations where it is useful to treat a value as a Function (invoke it) only if it is indeed a Function; otherwise, return it as-is. Calling .apply on a value that is not a function would cause an error.

Example

var apply = require('apply-or');

function divmax (divisor) {
  return Math.max.apply(null, this.val) / divisor
}

var data = {
  val: [9, 7, 15, 12]
}

apply(divmax, 5, data)
//=> divmax.apply({ val: [9, 7, 15, 12] }, [5])
//=> 15 / 5
//=> 3
