Quick start
A usage example from the which-boxed-primitive README.
var whichBoxedPrimitive = require('which-boxed-primitive');
var assert = require('assert');
// unboxed primitives return `null`
// boxed primitives return the builtin constructor name
assert.equal(whichBoxedPrimitive(undefined), null);
assert.equal(whichBoxedPrimitive(null), null);
assert.equal(whichBoxedPrimitive(false), null);
assert.equal(whichBoxedPrimitive(true), null);
assert.equal(whichBoxedPrimitive(new Boolean(false)), 'Boolean');
assert.equal(whichBoxedPrimitive(new Boolean(true)), 'Boolean');
