           Summary: Move special __proto__ property to Object.prototype
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: barraclough at apple.com


Re-implement this as a regular accessor property.  This has three key benefits:
1) It makes it possible for objects to be given properties named __proto__.
2) Object.prototype.__proto__ can be deleted, preventing object prototypes from being changed.
3) This largely removes the magic used the implement __proto__, it can just be made a regular accessor property.
