I took a look at the metaobject patch from Helma, and it seems like it
seeks to accomplish something very similar to what I'm doing with
crosscheck. So, for what it's worth, I would also like to see
something resembling this as part of the core library.

In order to simulate a browser host environment with custom javascript
code (For several reasons, writing the host environment in javascript
is much easier than doing so in java), I need to have generic get/set/
delete operations that do not necessarily know the name/index of the
property in advance.

Thus far, I've been using AspectJ to monkey patch ScriptableObject and
intercept calls to get/set and friends to check for a __do_get__,
__do_set__, __do_remove__ properties.

I would also like a way to control enumerability from inside
javascript.
