I see two domains for the concept of “own” properties:
1. Meta-programming.
Could you expand on the use of `own' properties for meta-programming?
I'm afraid I can't really envision it =/
2. Using objects as dictionaries.
Isn’t #2 the majority (at least as far as non-library-programmers are
concerned)? Will the concept become less relevant once we have David
Herman’s dicts?
I would think most of the cases where objects are used as dicts would be
solved by using `Object.create(null)', today on ES5-compliant engines.
Except for the nasty, nasty `__proto__' on engines that use that magic,
but then you can proxy property access/assignment. It's quite ad-hoc,
but works.
The dicts proposal looks nice though.
