Description Michael Rennie CLA 2016-01-14 14:54:56 EST 
We should offer the following fixes for the no-new-wrappers rule:

1. remove the 'new' keyword (perhaps they actually want to call the function)
2. convert the value to a literal, for example:
   var n = new String("hi"); -> var n = "hi";
   var n = String(); -> var n = "";

   var n = new Boolean(true); -> var n = true;
   var n = Boolean(); -> var n = false;

   var n = new Number(12); -> var n = 12;
   var n = Number(); -> var n = 0;
