The idea would be to take the input object, sanitize it by doing

   obj = JSON.parse(JSON.serialize(obj));

(which will get rid of crud like getters), and then work with it.

This can get pretty hard to specify (esp. because it involves describing 
what happens if those getters reenter the API you're defining).

That doesn't seem like a good idea to me, honestly.
