Yes.
You're very welcome to review the tests. I committed this kind of test
in testsuite/actionscript.all/String.as (by the end).

Yeah, we can't behave differently from the PP, unless different versions
of the PP themselves behave differently, which would justify our drift :)
This is not uncommon so it's highly encouraged to run the String-v*.swf tests
built in actionscript.all with as many PP versions on as many systems as 
possible
(win32/pp10 probably being the most important one).

Uhm. seems overkill at first thought.
Would mean impementing this referencing thing for all of as_object
as that's what the cached object would be (an as_object).
