Well, then I will make uneval(-0) in Rhino to produce -0.

Yet another question about uneval. AFAICS in SM the following property 
holds for most usages of uneval:

uneval(x) == uneval(eval(uneval(x)))

or at least uneval(x) gives string that is a syntactically correct JS 
that tries its best to archive equality of eval(uneval(x)) with x.

But it does not work for native functions as uneval(Math.sin) produces 
function sin() {[native code]} which is not valid JS.

So what is the real goal of uneval?
