I suspect you can get the same with the following:

```
"".split.call(number, "").reverse().join("") == number
```

The idea is that you use the String generic to cast the `number` reference to a string and split into an array in one shot, reverse array, then change it back to string.

The `==` is so we can coerce while evaluating equality (this is where we'd want to use `==` instead of `===`).
