Awesome, bookmarked like it's 1999.

Seriously though the snippet for the forgetting-new protection in a constructor seems quite handy. It's always good to hear arguments from both sides of the fence.

  > typeof String('abc')
  'string'
  > typeof new String('abc')
  'object'

Oh dear, I think I'm getting a migraine.
