We might need some ES spec changes/additions to produce methods that 
would be safe to pass.  I agree that it's not that feasible for now.

(Though with enough hackery it could all be done: the method could sync 
proxy the property access on things that are not on the worker thread to 
the main thread, etc.  It's probably not worth it.)

So proto is null on the result of the clone; not required to be null on 
the thing being cloned.  Right?
