/**
 * InstanceOf validator class
 *
 * Validates that the value is an instance of the given constructor (`value instanceof Ctor`).
 * Useful for File uploads, Buffer/Uint8Array payloads, and custom domain classes —
 * anywhere a runtime class identity is the right contract.
 *
 * Note: `Date` is already covered by `v.date()` with richer date-specific rules;
 * reach for `v.instanceof(Date)` only when you specifically want raw `instanceof`
 * semantics with no normalization.
 *
 * @example
 * v.instanceof(File)        // type: File
 * v.instanceof(Buffer)      // type: Buffer
 * v.instanceof(MyClass)     // type: MyClass
