It's more consistent with the other members of Object.prototype to do an implicit ToObject here, and apparently matches existing implementations. Is it intentional that the spec is treating this as a TypeError? Well, it was intentional, but perhaps wrong. As you say, the set accessor probably needs to do a ToObject. The set accessor probably only needs to do a CheckObjectCoercible followed by an immediate return if the type of this is not Object (the wrapper and hence it's modified [[Prototype]] isn't observable, so it doesn't actually need to be created). File a bug, and I'll put the revised algorithms into the ticket. Opened https://bugs.ecmascript.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1586. Luke
