during the life in the spec draft, but I am too lazy to find when. (Note
that the current draft defines Symbol.prototype[@@toPrimitive], and AFAIK,
V8 doesn't implement @@toPrimitive yet.)

The way I’d expect it to happen is via `Symbol.prototype[@@toPrimitive]` –
it would always throw. But that’s not the case.
