There's one thing I don't understand about that algorithm:

   {} + ""

One of the operands is a string, so I would expect the result to be a
string as well, but that's not what happens: the result of this
operation is 0 in current implementations. I'm sure I misinterpreted the
algorithm somehow, but where?
