When calling
Object(value)
where the value is known to be a JSReceiver, we can just replace it with
value, as the Object constructor call is a no-op in that case. Otherwise
when value is known to be not null or undefined then we can replace the
Object constructor call with an invocation of ToObject.
This covers the common pattern found in bundles generated by Webpack,
where the Object constructor is used to call imported functions, i.e.
Object(module.foo)(1, 2, 3)
There's a lot of detail in https://github.com/webpack/webpack/issues/5600
on this matter and why this pattern was chosen.
