Right now String(symbol) throws because it uses ToString which is spec'ed to throw.
I'm suggesting that we special case String(value) to do a type check for Symbol and return the same string as Symbol.prototype.toString.call(value) does. https://people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html#sec-string-constructor-string-value The motivation for this is that String(value) is pretty explicit and was in ES5 a safer way to stringify something than value.toString(). -- erik
