Lack of Error Thrown when Using 'in' Operator on Non-Objects

• Plattform: [Linux, Ubuntu 20.04]

Description 'in' applied to non-objects do not throw an error.

Test case Test code to reproduce the behaviour:

'example' in true;
'example' in false;
'example' in undefined;
'example' in null;
'example' in this;

'example' in 'example';
'example' in 1;

Expected behaviour Going by other JavaScript engines including V8, SpiderMonkey and JavaScriptCore I'd expect a TypeError to be thrown.

Additional context This was found using comparative testing between multiple JavaScript engines. This could very much come down to a design choice. I just wanted to let you know in case it is not intentional
