* The idea behind bug 53268 is as follows. The item 'five' below is defined
* as const, hence is a read-only property of the global object. So if we set
* obj.__proto__  = this,  'five' should become a read-only propery of obj.
*
* If we then change obj.__proto__  to null, obj.five should initially be
* undefined. We should be able to define obj.five to whatever we want,
* and be able to access this value as obj.five.
*
* Bug 53268 was filed because obj.five could not be set or accessed after
* obj.__proto__  had been set to the global object and then to null.
