If you want a consistent way to evaluate and "enforce" the type of
individual values through the instanceof operator, this would be the
approach to use.
new String() can also have some utility as with it you could simulate
Mozilla's string indexing:
var foo = new String("myString"); //where the constructor creates
numeric members
foo[2]; //"S"
Not saying that these are necessarily wise decisions, but they are
examples of possible uses for primitive wrappers.
