Hence the "many" qualification. It is true that the main use case for
proxies is membranes, in which case all traps are present. But even for
these, if the trap is permanently present, it need only be [[Get]]ed from
the handler once on initializing the proxy. Granted, this is much less
helpful for speeding up implementations, but it is not nothing ;).
