With this change, as far as I can tell there's no concise operation directly
corresponding to the ToString abstract operation. The best that seems possible
is some horribly indirect operation like (v) => Error.prototype.toString.call({
name: v, message: "" }). That seems undesirable to me. I'm not convinced that
having String deviate from ToString is a good thing.
