Agreed. And not only is it more natural, it's also way more efficient (the
current algorithm requires a handler to cons a property descriptor, which
requires additional validation as it crosses the proxy boundary, only to
immediately throw it away)

Well, the in-operator, unlike property get/set, is currently not
this-sensitive. Why give up on that? Besides, from a capability POV, it
would mean that |lhs in rhs| would grant rhs access to lhs where that
currently isn't the case. Not that code depends on this, but why introduce
the "leak" if the semantics doesn't require it. I'd argue for the status
quo in this case.

Cheers,
Tom
