ok I just figured it out, line 4 must be changed to

In my optinion this would be worth a bug report in the Alfresco JIRA. A constructed string (ConsString) is a valid JavaScript string and should be supported by the Alfresco JavaScript API. Chances are that Alfresco will not fix this though, similar to other long standing issues with the script integration, e.g. the fact that you cannot reliably do === comparisons of strings due to the Java vs. JavaScript type incompatibility (though in other areas Java strings will behave just like JavaScript ones).
