Returning the same object twice is taken care of by the use of WeakMaps,
separately.

I'm thinking of an implementation as follows:

// in a wet->dry membrane proxy's handler:
getPrototypeOf: function(dryShadow) {
  if (!Object.isExtensible(wetTarget)) {
    // no need to use the shadow
    return wet2dry(Object.getPrototypeOf(wetTarget)); // wet2dry consults a
WeakMap to avoid creating multiple wrappers
  }
  var dryProto = wet2dry(Object.getPrototypeOf(wetTarget));
  Object.setPrototypeOf(dryShadow, dryProto);
  return dryProto;
}

Cheers,
Tom
