I suggested this to TC39 a while back and I still think it's a good
idea even though reception was lukewarm at best (the people replying
didn't like to acknowledge the existence of this seemed like). They
should define this as a primitive of the Object type and define which
objects support it and how. The monkey patching we do now is not
great.
