Absolutely. This reminds me that Jason spotted a couple of places where the
current spec algorithms actually redundantly query the [[Target]]. For
instance: at one point an algorithm may check whether a property exists on
the target by calling [[HasOwnProperty]], and later it checks whether that
property is non-configurable by calling [[GetOwnProperty]]. A single
[[GetOwnProperty]] call would suffice to perform both checks. I intend to
go over the algorithms and remove those redundancies shortly.

Cheers,
Tom
