The interaction between private syntax and proxies has the
following components:
1) Do the proxy and the target act the same regarding private
properties?
The answer is yes with whitelisted private symbols, no with naive
weakmap-expanded private syntax (I explain non-naive below)
What happens if the private symbol is not on the whitelist? Does the
private symbol get/set operation get forwarded to the target, or does
it fail?
It calls the unknownPrivateSymbol trap. If the trap throws, the
operation fails. In all other cases (no trap or trap which doesn't
throw), it's forwarded.
I made the assumption that private syntax result in whitelisted symbols
and that's actually a non-trivial assumption... hmm... it's actually a
false assumption. Somehow, the private symbols generated from private
syntax would need to be exposed by the class or something to be added to
the whitelist set when a proxy wants to transparently wrap class
instances. This would force to violate the class encapsulation.
This means that for proxies to work with class instances, private syntax
has to expand to something else than private symbols. WeakMap being
first choice obviously and the necessity of private symbols become more
and more questionable.
(Sorry for the remedial question.)
No worries. Sorry for being too quick in my explanations ;-)
