= n / 1 - 0.5 = n - 0.5
which solves to `n = 0` or `n = 1`. It seems that Nashorn picks the
`n = 0` case instead of the `n = 1` case.

Nashorn can produce a ClassCastException when executing a plain
JavaScript program.
The exception happens in a situation where the arguments variable is
used in conjunction with call and apply.
## Observed behavior
Code:
```
function F(SOME_PARAMETER) {
Function.prototype.call.apply(G, argumen
Hi
I am not sure if this is a bug or feature of the Nashorn engine. But
it looks like some String-prototype methods are missing, yet the
methods are somehow present when used in the right way.
Minimal example: calling `startsWith` by using `call`:
```
1 $ jjs -v
2 jjs> String.prototype.startsW

Hi
I am not sure if this is a bug or a problem with my setup.
I observe a surprising difference between the "external" (jjs) and the
"internal" (new ScriptEngineManager().getEngineByName("JavaScript"))
Nashorn when evaluating a regular expression method. The two Nashorns seems
to be the same, but

Hi
I stumbled upon a minor discrepancy between Nashorn and other
JavaScript engines when doing regexp matching with the multiline flag
enabled.
