Description
#40 implemented window.open(), but if window A uses it to open window B, the value of window.opener within B is null rather than a reference to A.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the window.open() implementation from #40 and reproduce the issue with window A opening window B. Trace how B is created and determine why its window.opener is null; done means B exposes a reference to A as expected by browser behavior, with a regression test for the scenario.
