Object.keys non-object coercion not working in IE 11

See original GitHub issue

Bug report

Describe the bug

The argument passed to the Object.keys method should be coerced to an object from ES2015 onward. As illustrated in the example taken from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/keys.

// In ES5
Object.keys('foo');  // TypeError: "foo" is not an object 

// In ES2015+
Object.keys('foo');  // ["0", "1", "2"]

However, this behaviour is not pollyfilled in Next.js for IE 11.

To Reproduce

Download the reproduction available at https://github.com/tomdohnal/object-keys-ie-repro
Use yarn dev or npm run dev to start the development server
Open the page in IE 11 and it crashes.

Expected behavior

It should coerce the argument passed to Object.keys to object and not crash.

Ooh, Object.keys exists in IE9 it seems. I do not believe we override existing browser globals to introduce new behavior. Let’s take a deeper look into this though.

Yeah it exists but lacks the coercion functionality which was added as a part of the ES6 spec…
