Out of curiosity, which accessor, being a runtime info that once trapped in
a static property looses its meaning, is commonly needed for JSON ?
I am just thinking about `Array` and the fact that thanks gosh the `length`
is not in. What kind of logic you have in mind?
```js
// to fix the exception
// with ... a **non enumerable** method ;-)
class SomeCase {
toJSON() {
var o = Object.assign({}, this);
o.accessor = this.accessor;
return o;
}
}
```
case solved in few lines and yet another method, the `toJSON` one, that
nobody wants to show up anywhere in an enumerable way.
Best Regards
