I need some clarification around completion records.
You'll want to have a look at the algorithmic conventions
(http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/7.0/#sec-algorithm-conventions)
and the implicit coercion of completion values
(http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/7.0/#sec-implicit-completion-values):
| Calls to abstract operations return Completion Records.

Yes, it's a bit sloppy, but makes the spec much more readable. It's
already technical enough, so this does formally apply some common sense :-)
kind regards,
