I don't understand why you'd ever create an object in parallel. Object creation should always happen in an environment with a global. You can schedule a task that ends up creating the object. Otherwise you're inventing new JavaScript semantics and we've been told off for that many times.

(FWIW, I think "in parallel" is a bit of an anti-pattern as it often doesn't deal well with races or the constraints of that parallel place. Having explicit task-based isolated-threads would be much clearer.)
