No, this brokenness is heavily relied on. It's not an obscure corner case.
Just don't use wrapper objects [*]. They are totally unnecessary and
useless. If a fix is needed, it is to have the spec say that explicitly.
[*] except where they are generated implicitly as temporaries when a
property of a primitive value is accessed -- although I bet most
JS programmers don't even know that is happening.
