I wasn't aware of this paper, thanks.

First a technical question. The paper says in Definition 2 that,
apart from numeric properties, the properties

  toString, toNumber, valueOf, length, prototype,
  constructor, message, arguments, Object, Array, RegExp

can be accessed implicitly. However no 'toNumber' property is
mentioned anywhere in the ECMAScript specs, and I don't know of
any implementation-specific property of that name. Have I missed
something, or is 'toNumber' a figment of the authors' imagination?
(This is unfortunately almost impossible to search for.)
