Mutating [[Prototype]] is still mutation :-P.
The fact that you get a chain of two or more objects instead of one is the big
thing about this that makes it not FRU to me. We don't have records, of course,
but squinting hard at objects might make them look as pretty (need beer goggles
;-). But only own properties of a single object, so I'd want FRU of this kind:
let o = { p:1, r:3 };
let u = { o where p:1, q:2 };
and u would have own p, q, and r.
