When our IE9 binding ported this to ES5, it translated to "configurable: false", which completely destroyed the ability to set accessors on the interface objects as well as operations (and in our case, DOM accessors). Because of this, we actually don't mark our interface objects OR operations/attributes as configurable: false, rather configurable: true.*

Sorry, I'm not very updated on the differences between the ES3 and ES5
worlds. Why does "configurable: false" destroyed the ability to set
accessors? Can you give an example of a piece of script that doesn't
work but which you'd like to work, and what you'd like it to do?
