Formerly, 7.3 "The Window object" referred to `(realm).[[GlobalEnv]]'s EnvironmentRecord's [[GlobalThisValue]]` Here, `(realm).[[GlobalEnv]]` was a Lexical Environment, whose `EnvironmentRecord` component was a global Environment Record, with a `[[GlobalThisValue]]` field. However, tc39/ecma262#1697 eliminated Lexical Environments, merging them into Environment Records. So now `(realm).[[GlobalEnv]]` is a global Environment Record, and the reference should be `(realm).[[GlobalEnv]].[[GlobalThisValue]]`
