In IRC, Smaug makes me aware of the [Replaceable] IDL attribute, which appears
to be what Gecko does. Given `[Replaceable] readonly attribute Console
console`, IDL auto-generates a setter that does (essentially)
`this.defineOwnProperty("console", { value, writable: true, enumerable: true,
configurable: true })`. For most objects this will shadow the prototype's
getter, but for global objects like Window it will just overwrite it.
So, new plan of record: `[Replaceable] readonly attribute Console console`.
