Comment #4 on issue 2218 by [email protected]: HTML extensions to
String.prototype must throw an error if the `this` object is not coercible
(i.e. `null` or `undefined`)

Hi,
we would very much like to welcome everyone interested in V8 to get
familiar with the code base and contribute. However, the change that is
being proposed here are not part of the ecma spec and not yet mature. I
haven't checked this yet, but other browsers might not even comply with the
suggested behavior either. At this point, we are very hesitant to introduce
a behavior that hasn't been agreed on, to the general public. It has often
happened that not well thought through changes and additions to
javascript's core language has caused troubles that are hard to get rid of
in retrospect. So the patch you might provide may not be landed due to this
consideration.
