{{alias}}( value, proto )
    Tests if an object's prototype chain contains a provided prototype.

    The function returns `false` if provided a primitive value.

    This function is generally more robust than the `instanceof` operator (e.g.,
    where inheritance is performed without using constructors).

    Parameters
    ----------
    value: any
        Input value.

    proto: Object|Function
        Prototype.

    Returns
    -------
    bool: boolean
        Boolean indicating if a provided prototype exists in a prototype chain.

    Examples
    --------
    > function Foo() { return this; };
    > function Bar() { return this; };
    > {{alias:@stdlib/utils/inherit}}( Bar, Foo );
    > var bar = new Bar();
    > var bool = {{alias}}( bar, Foo.prototype )
    true
