Is this expected, or a bug? Seems like a bug to me, but I couldn't
find a bug in Bugzilla (possibly because Bugzilla search and I don't
get along well).

    js> printStuff = function(str) { print("value="+str+" typeof="+
(typeof str)) }
    ...
    js> String.prototype.printStuff = function() { print("value="+this
+" typeof="+(typeof this)) }
    ...
    js> a = "foo";
    foo
    js> printStuff(a);
    value=foo typeof=string
    js> a.printStuff()
    value=foo typeof=object

Same with Numbers and Booleans. My solution is to wrap "this" in a
call to String, etc. Not sure if there's a better workaround.
