The order of the boolean parameters is kind of annoying to have  to remember.

Would it be OK to shorten the method?

obj.__setProperty__("c"); // undefined value
obj.__setProperty__("c", 2);
obj.__setProperty__("c", undefined, "dontenum", "readonly");
obj.__setProperty__("c", undefined, "dontdelete");

-- or --

obj.__setProperty__("c", undefined). // Reference type.
  dontEnum().
  readOnly().
  dontDelete();
