What I think I remember hearing from Tom is that Dave's main point, and the main argument with Tom, was precisely allowing proxies to intercede on === checks, in which case you wouldn't even have that as a reliable indicator.

Hmm, maybe -- but does Self have a reference-identity equivalence-relation operator that can't be spoofed? Might help to ask David, but to abstract from that particular SPLASH 2011 Q&A, obviously we won't be enabling such fakery in JS.
