 * SUMMARY: Utility functions for testing objects -
 *
 * Suppose obj is an instance of a native type, e.g. Number.
 * Then obj.toString() invokes Number.prototype.toString().
 * We would also like to access Object.prototype.toString().
 *
 * The difference is this: suppose obj = new Number(7).
 * Invoking Number.prototype.toString() on this just returns 7.
 * Object.prototype.toString() on this returns '[object Number]'.
 *
 * The getJSType() function below will return '[object Number]' for us.
 * The getJSClass() function returns 'Number', the [[Class]] property of obj.
 * See ECMA-262 Edition 3,  13-Oct-1999,  Section 8.6.2
