A JS integer is actually an instance of the "Number" object, you can to a small degree alter fundamental behavior even with primitive types

No it is not. It is a primitive, this difference is well defined in the ECMAScript spec. Same for strings. An instanceof String is strictly not the same as a string primitive (and there are runtime consequences).

You need to enclose numbers to access the prototype: 1.toString is undefined, whereas (1).toString() is "1"
