            Bug ID: 21929
           Summary: named properties object should disallow definition of
                    non-configurable properties
    Classification: Unclassified

The named properties object exposes named properties as configurable data
properties.  There is no special [[DefineOwnProperty]], so we can still define
our own on the object.  [[DefineOwnProperty]] can successfully set an own
property on the object, although named properties will still shadow them when
you get them.  This allows [[DefineOwnProperty]] to set a non-configurable
property, which then can be exposed as configurable if a named property starts
existing with the same name later.  This breaks an invariant on
[[Configurable]].  We could have [[DefineOwnProperty]] force [[Configurable]] =
true, just like [[DefineOwnProperty]] for platform objects implementing
interfaces that support named properties.  Or we could disallow expandos on the
named properties object.
