That's a good point.

For expressing the DOM APIs in JS this feature is not needed so I
still stand by my point; If you are using proxies for DOM then you do
not need to use @elementGet and @elementSet (for the current DOM
APIs).

But you don't need proxies if you don't have lazy reification of properties, and IIUC @elemnet[GS]et are enough to make both frames.foo and frames['foo'] work, along with frames[0] which might alias frames.foo.

IOW, proxies and @elementFoo are independent and can be used together or not. And @elementFoo can be used for string-named property identifiers as well as indexes. No?

@elementGet and @elementSet are still useful for things like better
collection APIs.
