Great!  Will the setter be capable of setting the prototype on objects which don't inherit from `Object.prototype` (as long as they're in the same realm)?  If so, that would allow me to work around the majority of my problems from [1].  There are still some edge cases that couldn't be supported, but I'll be okay with that since they are really minor edge cases.
