It’s an optimization.

If it’s set, then the JavaScript engine won’t even call  
getOwnPropertySlot, saving the overhead of a virtual function call. If  
it’s not set, then the engine will call the virtual function.

If you forget to set it, the only test that you can do is a  
performance test; it will be too slow. If you set and should not, then  
you can test; getOwnPropertySlot won’t get called since you set the  
flag.
