I think “as if from ES null” covers it unambiguously and that the “or an object” part would be more misleading than helpful even if “corrected.” There’s a lot more than just `Object.prototype` which could impact conversion behavior. Unlike conversion from ES object, conversion from ES null has no observable steps. As there are no ES-observable steps when creating a default dictionary, it should probably not mention object conversion at all.
