For the particular case of Arrays though, because Array methods were
carefully specified to be generic (i.e. to also work on non-array objects),
they will work just fine on proxies-for-arrays:
var p = new Proxy([1,2,3] , {} );
var a = p.map(function(x) { return x + 1; });
console.log(a); // [2,3,4]
So, of all the exotic objects in the ES and WebIDL specs, Arrays are
probably one of the few exceptions where a Proxy wrapper *is* transparent
by default.
