title: "An object is a member of Object" in ES2017 Specs
body: <p>Can anyone help explain "An object is a member of Object" in ES2017 Language Specs? The sentence shows up in the specs multiple times. For example, in Chapter 4.2 ECMAScript Overview</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Properties are containers that hold other objects, primitive values,
    or functions. A primitive value is a member of one of the following
    built-in types: Undefined, Null, Boolean, Number, String, and Symbol;
    <strong>an object is a member of the built-in type Object;</strong> and a function is a callable object. A function that is associated with an object via
    a property is called a method.</p>
