The use case has to do with expected behavior when stringifying objects.
e.g. Create a DB table with a string column and insert the value 42.0 into it.

A user would expect the contents of the column to be '42.0', but if we round to
an int ourselves we'll insert '42'.

So while you could argue that technically, WebKit behaves correctly.  we have
no way of implementing the behavior users expect in the above case.  In
addition, WebKit's handling of this case differs from that of Mozilla.
