Sorry, this doesn't work. The getPrivate trap already uses its return value to indicate the value of the private name. So yes, if the getPrivate trap wants to trigger the "default behavior" it either has to throw a special exception or return a special unique value to indicate this. It's an interesting difference with all other traps, which can just perform the default forwarding behavior by calling one of the Reflect.* methods. Obviously, we can't provide a Reflect.getPrivate(target, public) since that breaks the entire point of the private/public distinction.
