Only if I'm part of it ;). Anyway, window.toString also doesn't exist.

Btw, the same exception is thrown doing a
'window=="I'm a string, not a window"', which isn't such a strange test
to do IMO. (Of course it should always return false, even if
'window=="[object Window]"' is evaluated.)
Hmm, that funny 'document=="[object HTMLDocument]"' returns 'true'. Should
it?
