The main reason behind adding invoke() was to make rebinding |this| easy
and efficient upon forwarding, essentially to make examples such as the
following work:
var date = new Date()
var proxy = new Proxy(date, {
invoke: function(target, name, args, rcvr) {
return target[name].apply(target, args); // note, |this| bound to
target inside forwarded method, not to |rcvr| (= the proxy itself)
}
});
proxy.getFullYear() // works fine, no "error: not a Date" exception
