this is why for years many of us have been advocating the usage of `'name'
in object` instead of passing through getters ... but I can see the problem
when it comes to retrieve, let's say `requestAnimationFrame`, passing
through all prefixes ...

About that, if I can add one wish for ES7, I really wish that if there's
anything that works with a prefix, an `experimentalPrefix` property is
exposed somewhere so that we can stop guessing which one would work for the
current engine and simplify features detections too.
