Hmm, upon seeing this in action, I'm not sure how I feel about `==` throwing.
Oh for crying out loud!
half a :-)
You can't please anyone around here...
It doesn't normally do that (modulo bad custom `valueOf`/`toString` methods),
so I think there will be a lot of code that assumes when it `==`s two values it
doesn't need to wrap that expression in `try`/`catch`.
`do { try { x == y } catch { false } }`, the new `x == y`?
So what? Exceptions for the insane (intransitive, lossy) == cases are
*better* than toString/valueOf.
JS is damned if it does, and damned if it doesn't.
Anyway, value objects are not dispatching to toString or valueOf when
used with arithmetic operators. That's the design. Given == and <=, the
rest follows.
