Calling [[GetOwnProperty]] on the GSP ends us in [1]. In step 3, we call the
"named property visibility algorithm" [2] with object /object/ (==window). In
step 7 there, we call [[HasProperty]] on window.__proto__ == Window.prototype.
This walks the prototype chain [3] and ends up calling [[GetOwnProperty]] on
the GSP again.
