This PR, co-authored with @0xe, adds support for the crazy
super.__proto__. It is stacked on top of #1735.In Rhino there is a special implementation that uses
RefandGET_REF(and similar) for things likea.__proto__,a.__parent__and xml access. We have extended this tosuper.A really surprising thing that we discovered looking at other engines is that the semantics of
super.__proto__is a bit confusing - it ends up beingthis.__proto__basically, because__proto__is resolved onsuperbut then accessed onthis. So, the implementation uses a horrible hack: it replacessuper.__proto__withthis.__proto__in the IR. This seems to work, according to the tests that we have added, and while a bit dirty, it seems fine to us for such a strange edge case.
