#930 — 11.1.5 + B.3.1.3: "as if by the expression new Object() ..."


In 11.1.5 "Object Initialiser",
under "Runtime Semantics: Evaluation",
step 1 refers to:
a new object created as if by the expression new Object() where
Object is the standard built-in constructor with that name

In B.3.1.3 "__proto___ Object Initialisers _",
rule 1 step 1 refers to:
the result of creating a new object as if by the expression new Object()
where Object is the standard built-in constructor with that name

In each case, replace the quoted phrase with:
the result of the abstract operation ObjectCreate
