I blame 'with'. So, ex-Borland people at Netscape. And so, ultimately,
myself.

can you try to hot-fix that via `with(values.values=values)` ?
That probably works, but it matters little since the hazard is with the existing
installed base of sites that use this which would need to be updated. I can't imagine
standardizing "whenever an identifier 'values' is found as the subject of a
WithStatement, do ...." would fly either.
and this hazard exists for any method name we add to an existing built-in prototype object.
"values" and "keys" and "entries" may be more likely to run into the problem as
they are all plausible variable names but any new property name might break some with-users code in this same
manner.
