This description ("arbitrary string keys", "bidirectional link with

the style rule, the proxy is just a façade with a bit of
validation/coercion logic). That's the sort of use case they've been
introduced for.
I don't see why a proxy is required if the API is get/set/has (like
Map's).
What is the API exactly? This hasn't been clearly described yet.
We're not making properties appear without knowing their names, so
this is not a proxy use-case on its face.
Aren't we? That's what I understood when I read (from Tab's initial post):
"When the style rule is mutated to add/remove custom properties, I also
need to mutate the exposed keys on the object."
In any case, making property appear isn't the only use for proxies.
If all property names where known in advance, getter/setters would be
fine for the kind of validation/coercion that's expected here. Since
they aren't known in advance, a proxy seems suitable.
So Tab: why do you want to abuse Map ...
He wrote in his initial message: "I'd like to convert this over to an ES
Map, as that [...] gets me all the Map extras for free, which is nice."
So I guess: what Map extras do you really want/need? Where would the
object interface (get/set/"in"/delete/for-of) be insufficient?
...instead of make a custom class?
Sounds like a good idea too at this point.
