You really don't *want* proxies to equal their underlying objects: proxies can show properties that the underlying object doesn't have, hide properties that the underlying object does have, alter the appearance of other proxies, etc.
What you probably want is to never deal with the underlying object in the first place, unless you absolutely have to. That's why you'd create a proxy anyway... Have you heard about membranes? I've talked about them on this list recently, as have several others over the years...
