I don't understand how this behavior is consistent with ES5 spec.
In http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/ECMA-262.pdf,
15.2.1 and 15.2.1.1, seems to indicate that Object(null) is the same
as new Object(null). 15.2.2.1 specify that :
- if type(value) is object (and null is of type object in js)

null is of type Null by the spec. It's only `typeof` operator results "object" for `null`, but internally its type is Null, so everything's correct i 15.2.2.1

Dmitry.

- and if value is a native ES object (null should be), do not create a
new object but simply return value.

Am i missing something ?
