Re: Another de-facto insecurity we need to fix in ES5

For ES5, this is a tempest in a teapot. We at Mozilla are trying to remove assignable __proto__ in a near-term release, except in these two useful and (AFAIK) safe cases: * A newborn with no other properties. * A recent-born in the midst of initialization via evaluation of its object initi

RE: Another de-facto insecurity we need to fix in ES5
