I think the most important case to test for would be one that reuses a detached global with a different context. In that state, should one continue to observe
any changes? What if the original context gets destroyed?

I'm not sure how the current implementation would react in that case, because it seems to be associating the info with the global object proper, not the global
proxy?

I also recall that, in addition to global proxies, the WebKit binding makes
extensive use of hidden prototypes to implement the global object. That's a
similar but different mechanism. We probably need tests for that stuff as well.

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure either what the desired semantics should be for all these things. Adding Adam Barth to CC, maybe he can shed some light on
the global object madness in WebKit/V8, and how it should interact with
observation. :)

This function wasn't carrying its weight, just removed and implemented
in JS.

I'm fine with that. But note that there no longer is a way to
differentiate between an absent key and a key mapping to 'undefined'.
Not that anybody should ever need that...
