Right. So the full answer to Andreas and others' query about why
__proto__ normative mandatory in ES6 but no __define/lookup... is
1. __proto__ much more used on the mobile (iOS WebKit-first) web, no
equivalent interop pressure for __d/l.
2. ES5 is in all new/evergreened browsers and it has standard APIs
supplanting __d/l but nothing for writing to __proto__.
Therefore __proto__ gets standardized, __d/l do not. And I'm done typing
__d/l!
