It seems like a loose-loose situation to prevent it. Implementors will
have to add code to check for 'undefined' all the time, and users of
the API can't store 'undefined' if they would like to.

Can you describe the application that would be easier to write,
possible to write, faster to run or have cleaner code if we forbade
putting 'undefined' in an object store?
