So, importantly, only one of the two existing commonly used tests for 'objectness' will continue to
work correctly in the face of value objects. The first being a test that typeof is
"object" or "function" that's not null, will continue to work.
You must mean by 'objectness' reference-not-value semantics -- typeof
returning "object" or "function" and the user ruling out null value (or
opting into "null" result) doesn't do a thing to reject non-extensible,
no-own-property objects of course.
The second `Object(value) === value` would no longer work because a value
object will return itself from `Object`.
Yes, that's important. We don't want wrappers, they are the greater evil.
