Description
The typing of Object behaves like it auto BOX s the value. As a result it seems you can pass anything in other than an Uninitialized variable. This does not apply to the Dynamic type which can truly take anything.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the type-checking behavior for a function parameter typed as Object when passed an Uninitialized variable, and compare it with Dynamic. Done means Object reports Uninitialized as an error while Dynamic continues to accept it.
