I explored implementing [[DateValue]], [[NumberValue]], etc. as symbols
e.g. @@DateValue, but this causes observably different behavior from what
is specified with a.) inheritance, and b.) interaction with proxies.
Object.create(new Date).getDate(); // works but is specified to not work
new Proxy(new Date, {}).getDate(); // works but is specified to not work
Since Proxy is new in ES6 this of course can still be fixed, but to make
the first case work would be a (probably benign) backward incompatible
change and isn't going to work cross-engine unless the spec is changed to
explicitly allow/require it.
