Object() constructor does not always construct new ordinary object about ecma262 HOT 4 OPEN

Possibly "when called as a constructor without arguments"?

from ecma262.

That sounds fair, but then we are missing a case in the list (called with arguments)... I understand this section is non-normative (?) but it still looks weird

Object() is the same as new Object() too, though.

from ecma262.

• Object() and new Object() (when new.target is any value): either creates ordinary object or performs coercion, depending on how you view it
• Object(v) and new Object(v) (when new.target === Object): performs coercion
• new Object(v) (when new.target !== Object): creates ordinary object
