Hi Shaukat,
I'd like to "ditto" your comments -- I faced the same problem with
interceptors last year and it sounds like not much has improved since then.
I was forced to abandon my project because "the V8 source is the
documentation". V8 user's time should be spent on their projects, it makes
no sense for every V8 user to reverse engineer V8 because the people who
work on V8 full time don't want or need documentation. When functionality
is non-trivial, lack of documentation quickly devolves into a show-stopper.
For what it's worth, Harmony proxies are working in V8 and most of the
accessor/interceptor functionality can now be used though the JS code
itself. Proxies are documented in the ES6 draft spec, so there is
documentation to work from.
