I don't see how trapping access to [[MapData]] satisfactorily solves your
original problem. What spec text would you write?  Would you define the DOM
object in question to be a proxy?

But that would look like... Map.

So we would have turned Map into a wrapper around a [[MapData]] object
that's what Maps are now (a concrete, non-hookable map).

It seems rather heavyweight. You can already get about the same effect just
by writing that wrapper yourself.
