for own (i in o) {   //body
}

I'd rather see something like

for (i inside o) {
   //body
}

And the reason for this is you could then use it in conditions as you use in:

if ( 'prop' in obj ) {
   //body
}

if ( 'prop' inside obj ) {
   //body
}

You would have
'prop' inside obj <=> Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call( obj, 'prop' )
