What Gecko actually uses is more like this, I believe:

Object.prototype <- [named props obj] <- Window.prototype <- window

Note that this does not obviate the need for the no-overriding-builtins 
stuff, though, because you don't want to shadow Object.prototype on the 
named props object either...

So it might be possible to move the named props object to the other spot 
in the proto chain.
