Can you say more about this last sentence? What existing objects
would want meta-programming fixtures somehow added to their
properties? I know, I'm to blame for __defineGetter__ and it has use-
cases that o = {get x() {...}} can't satisfy, but a named getter is
one thing -- a catch-all is different and scarier. Anyway, I'm
interested in details about your use-cases.
