Not if the built-in setter function for __proto__ is defined similarly to:
Object.defineProperty(Object.prototype,'__proto__',
{set: function __proto__(value) {
if (Object.getPropertyDescriptor(this,'__proto__').set !==
__proto__) throw new TypeError('invalid use of __proto__');
... //do the work of validating and setting [[Prototype]] of this
}});
(and assuming that Object.getPropertyDescriptor is defined to access inherited
properties)
