Does that rule out String.toObject()?

For compatibility with 3rd party code, but more importantly with
future (standard and non-standard) and unknown implementations, it's
usually a good idea to leave built-in objects alone. Extending them
The suggestion is not to extend String.prototype with another method,
but to rename the current String.evalJSON extension to String.toObject.

I understand :)
The problem is that both - `String.prototype` and `String` are built-
in objects
Dear Tobie
Thank you for your reply. Could I suggest a few more questions?
1. Does EcmaScript 5 preclude one from modifying
Object.prototype.toString?
2. Over-writing Object.prototype.toString does not at first glance
appear to cause it to show up in for...in loops in Rhino, Safari or
Firefox.

Thanks Jim for the great tip and thanks Robert for the words of
caution. It would seem then to be too dangerous to override
Object.prototype.toString.
