Object.prototype.toString() is included in the es3.js extern file, but it
has a different signature than Number.prototype.toString(opt_radix), so you
cannot have it defined in Object.as and override in Number.as or any other
file. The original code had it working for Number/int/uint, but "new
Date().toString()" was giving an error because it was not including the
toString() function in the Date class. "new Object().toString()" does not
giving an error because Object uses the 'dynamic' keyword on the class
definition.
One of the problems in createjs was that Filter.js documented toString()
with @return {string} but ColorFilter (extends Filter) did not include a return
type, so it became a void function and an incompatible override. The other
issue was that there was a hard-coded thing in MethodReference.java to output
an "AS3" namespace for a toString() override.
