Currently the objects can have any keys (objects, arrays, null, undefined, etc.). However, this could lead to multiple issues when executing ES5 code, for example:

// Example 1:
var obj = { true: 10 };
console.log(obj[true]); // undefined in this engine

// Example 2:
var key = { toString: function () { console.log('stringified'); return 'test'; } };
var obj = { test: 10 };
console.log(obj[key]); // key.toString won't get called, because no string conversion is done

From my experience with working with this engine, this isn't a problem 99% of the times, but doesn't provide too much of an advantage either. Ponder whether or not its worth it to sacrifice ES5 compliance for such little tradeoff
