Also, when emulating this property using a proxy, reflecting it as a non-configurable accessor will not violate any proxy invariants, so this is good. However, regarding the retargetable proxy pattern put forward by Kevin and Jason to emulate WindowProxy, that implementation cannot accurately expose window.location as non-configurable, but would need to expose it as configurable instead.
