The POC has been completed. This is a completely viable POC in that it can
be used in its present form in production code. I cannot speak for its
performance yet as I have done no performance testing on it. Seeing as how
it uses Proxy extensively to control access to private declarations, it is
likely to be slow. So this POC may not be suitable for use in high
performance applications. The biggest pain point for this POC is the fact
that `Function.caller` and `arguments.callee` have been completely crippled
to the the point of being useless. While I understand that their presence
prevented optimizations, it would be far more useful to allow the existence
of something like `Function.callerFrame` object with a `containsFn(fn)`
method to allow exact method identification without call access, and a
`previousFrame()` method to allow walking the call stack... but that's an
issue for a different proposal.
