Ah, nuts.  I suspected that might be the case.  Well, it's ugly but it *is*
doable within the rules, and I already have an appropriate code point to
make that work out.  (Nice that the first argument of each trap is the
proxy target.)

Regarding .hasBeenRevoked, yes, I get that too.  The revoke function from
Proxy.revocable() handles only the proxy itself, no administration of
metadata around that.  Oh, well, it was worth a shot.
