But it gets harder with getters and setters... maybe if there was an
API for simulating proper legacy foo[bar] and foo[bar]=baz,
(Object.get, Object.set?) generic [] could be dropped without much
of a loss.

We'll have Reflect.get and Reflect.set, see harmony:reflect_api. (these are the methods referred to as Object.getProperty and Object.setProperty that Allen referred to on the object model reformation wiki page)

Beautiful. Something like that I had in mind.

Another question comes to mind: here and there some light proposals towards mirror (a la Self, more-or-less) system appear. Would it not be confusing and/or clashing if Reflect will be along with something like that? If some mirror API appears or is planned, should it not be coordinated with Reflect?
