Constructed/Instantiated primitives should be stringified like their primitive equivalants.

Stringify something like new Number(7); or new Number('hello');

It should output '7' and '"hello"'. Instead it becomes:

new Number(7); became:
{}

new String('hello'); became:
{"0":"h","1":"e","2":"l","3":"l","4":"o"}

Now, I don't have a strong opinion on that. Actually, I think treating them as objects is perfectly fine because they are objects (note that one should probably never really construct a primitive in serious code, but whatever). The main reason I'm filing this as a bug is because the implementation of the browser vendors is different, and we should aim to mach that.
