By the way, let deprecate (that is, recommend not to use) __proto__ and introduce @parent (or other term) instead, while both having the same behaviour.
We could do this, given symbols, but would it help? New code could use it in the next several years only with an ES6->ES5 compiler and ignoring IE on desktop; this is a real possibility for "mobile developers", self-defined. But developers could just as well use __proto__ and probably will skip the compiler without strong need for other ES6 features.
This means we're adding a nicer synonym for the very long run. Which means two things, more total surface syntax, more "cruft" from certain points of view. Is it worth it?
