That's a good point.

For expressing the DOM APIs in JS this feature is not needed so I
still stand by my point; If you are using proxies for DOM then you do
not need to use @elementGet and @elementSet (for the current DOM
APIs).

@elementGet and @elementSet are still useful for things like better
collection APIs.
