I'm sure this has been discussed before but I don't know where. Here are some facts:
1. Putting user data (and other kinds of data if you're not careful) inside an object is a huge security problem. Domenic explains this quite well in the readme of his dict module: https://github.com/domenic/dict 2. Object.getPrototypeOf() is available as a perfect substitution for __proto__. It does exactly what you want, without the security risk. 3. Developers *will* use __proto__ if it is available, and they *will* put user data in objects.
