Should __proto__ be an accessor property of Object.prototype?

The current behaviour of __proto__ looks ugly. The better way might be make __proto__ an unconfigurable accessor of Object.prototype
Pesudocode:
Object.defineProperty(Object.prototype, '__proto__', {  get: function(){ return Object.getPrototype(this) },  set: function(v){ return Object.setProrotype(this, v) },  enumerable: false,  configurable: false}

I'm on my mobile and the fragment URL doesn't seem to work? Look for 4.18

This is pretty much what was agreed upon. The only difference is that
configurable is true because some security sensitive code needs to be
able to remove the ability to change the [[Prototype]].
