I wouldn't expect this to apply to [[MapData]] since those are not 
enumerable own properties of the map instance.

It can be done with Proxy, but that kind of sucks because I always need 
to go through the extra step of creating the Proxy for each object and 
passing around the Proxy instead. To me, this is similar to setting a 
property to be readonly in strict mode, except its writeonly (or rather, 
write-first).
