Arrays are a good point, this is where I’d think accidental coercions are most
likely. The other use case is object-as-dictionary, which will slowly be
replaced by `Object.create(null)` (no need to escape in ES6+) and `Map`.
I don’t feel strongly either way, I just feel that the added spec complexity is
not ideal. Especially ToBoolean() not throwing an exception, while ToString()
and ToNumber() do.
