That's right. The reflection API specced at <
http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=harmony:reflect_api> was meant to
encapsulate both proxies and all the utility methods that a proxy handler
needs to uniformly "forward" trapped ops to a target object. AFAICT, none
of these operations are privileged: it's easy enough to define them in
terms of more primitive, immediately available JS built-ins/operators.

Cheers,
Tom
