Beside telling people to use a string, the obvious solution would be
to call toString on whatever the function receives. I suppose it could
be possible to parse the result to see if it is a real string or not.
Does anyone know if something like this is cross browser:
var obj = {id: 1, name: 'Ted'};
if (obj.toString === Object.prototype.toString) {
// toString() was not overwritten
}
