That code deserves what it gets, good and hard. Including exceptions.

I was thinking of
function thirdPartyLib(val) {
return val ="0";

thirdPartyLib(myLong); // exception

Heh, yes, damned if you do, etc. etc. I was trying to think up a
practical example where this would cause problems (e.g. in CSS libraries
strings and numbers often mix), but all my cases involved an `=-using third
party library, in which case you'd just pass it `Number(myLong)` instead of
`myLong` directly and move on with your life.
Wait, number works:
js> 0L =0
true
js> 0L + 1
1L
Are you thinking of string?
