This auto-unwrapping for internal slots used to be part of an early
iteration of direct proxies <
http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=harmony:direct_proxies#wrapping_irregular_objects>
but was not carried over into the ES6 spec. IIRC, mainly because just
forwarding any internal slot access endangers the encapsulation properties
of membrane-like use cases.
