That said, I recently worked on a project and I reviewed a pull
request with "typeof x === 'object'" to ask to replace to
'Object(x) === x'.
On a side note, I think your version of isObject is problematic
because it requires allocating an object every time the function
encounters a primitive.
It's not required. That's the raw reading of the spec and that's
probably what the implementations do, but it's not required. When
reading "if(Object(x) === x)", the JS engine, at the time of calling
"Object(x)" knows that the outcome won't be used except for its
identity. It also knows that what matters isn't even the identity,
but whether the identity is equal to x. In essence, the allocation
isn't required per se.
Does any engine actually optimize away the wrapper?
Is this pattern used in a benchmark engines optimize against?
Not AFAIK, so I doubt any engine optimizes yet!
