Re: [heycam/webidl] [wip] First pass at adding internal slots (#495)

Especially as this grows extra complexity such as IDL syntax, [NoSlot], default values, etc. I become increasingly convinced this does not pay for itself. Introducing `this` is good. Beyond that I think Web IDL's only role for slots should be to say "here's one way you could declare internal data", not to add syntax.

What would change my mind is implementations stating that they would use this information in the IDL to help generate good code. But I find this quite unlikely given how current code generation works.

In short, I don't think this is an improvement over what we're doing today.
