SDK/Debugger version: 0.3.6

In V8 Standalone debug protocol implementation method getName() of JsVariable returned from JsObject.getProperties() method will return "[1]" for property named "1" (because it is parsed as numeric property and because V8 internally handles it as 'indexed'.

SDK must simply return plain property name "1" without any decorations. It should be up to UI to add those decorators. Additionally, helper method "getNameAsNumber" could be provided for those who got used to handle numeric properties differently.

This change is likely to break a current (unformal) contract about property names. It should be considered a breaking change and submitted within a major SDK update (0.4.0).

Also, as discussed in the original bug:
https://code.google.com/p/chromedevtools/issues/detail?id=75
there is an end to this behavior, as "3000000000" will return [3000000000] but "9000000000" will (correctly) return "9000000000".
