[webkit-dev] JSC Suggestion: Class property locking

[Oliver Hunt]

EcmaScript 5 defines a number of functions (freeze, seal,  
preventExtensions) that basically do this -- we just haven't yet  
implemented these.

But you can provide custom get and put functions which you could just  
make throw on unrecognised property names.
