            const ForeignObject = anObject.constructor;
      
            const ForeignFunction = ForeignObject.constructor;
      
            const process = ForeignFunction("return process")();

Technically you can also just do:
const ForeignFunction = this.constructor.constructor;
since the context object itself is created in the context you want. You don't even need a foreign object.

Also, this still appears to be an issue in Node 6.1.0. Just tested this for a silly Hubot script we have.
