I've played with post-traps a bit. A place I would naturally store the 
post-trap to cache it is the handler.

Assuming trap arguments are passed to the post-trap, another idea is to 
have pre and post traps. It duplicates the number of elements in a 
handler, but not the size of the code (or marginally assuming pre/post 
traps are longer than the boilerplate). Having a post-trap would still 
be an opt-in, but the protocol to get it would be "callable 
handler.[[Get]]" instead of the current "callable pretrap-return". One 
allocation per handler would become the natural default (while the 
current natural default is a function literal as return value).
