Description Timothy Hatcher 2022-11-21 11:51:44 PST 
If a script returns a result or passes a function a String object (not a value) -- like "new String('Test')". And that ObjC -[JSValue toObject] method is called, it will return a NSDictionary with keys for each character instead of an NSString.

This was surprising to me, but it does make sense at a fundamental level. I would just expect an NSString since it is not that useful as an NSDictionary.
