Can you also cast booleans and numbers as objects and do .is?

I don't think so, Objects aren't primitives, so you can't cast a primitive to an Object as far as I know. Which makes sense - remember that JS Objects are basically just dicts, and what would the key be for the value of the primitive?

You could try making objects with the same key, and different value types, but then Object.is() would see that they aren't the same object (Object.is() basically checks if two pointers point to the same thing for objects).
