What is the logic of check-types lower- or upper-case?

[Redsandro]

check-types ensures that case of native types is the same as in this list:

boolean
number
string
Object
Array
Date
RegExp

There is probably a good reason, but why are boolean, number, string in lower case, but the rest upper case?

I get that you can do new Object(), new Array() etc. but you cannot do new number(), it must be new Number().

I also get that typeof new Array will say object even though we decided that the type is Object. So the typeof function doesn't really give the type, just a lowercase translation of the parent type, which is Object and not object. Shouldn't we treat all cases the same?

(new Array()).constructor.name
"Array"
(new Number()).constructor.name
"Number"
(new Function()).constructor.name
"Function"
(new Boolean()).constructor.name
"Boolean"

I think either string, number and boolean should also be capitalized, or object should be with a lower case because typeof Object() is object.

Am I wrong?
