Cloning an object should mention .getOwnPropertyDescriptors about 30-seconds-of-interviews HOT 3 CLOSED

There's two ways we can take this:

1. Assuming Objects are POJS(Plain Old Javascript) which means no Getter or Setters as then it becomes an instance of a custom type with no prototype
2. Include information about proxies(Getters, Setters, actual Proxies) and custom types and attempt to support them

I'm more for version 1 since program modification of an Object needs to be documented and should be known by the developer. At that point it's no longer an Object but a custom type as a Developer should always know what is happening in their code(after all they're the ones who maintain it)

This could open a corollary question about "How do you clone an Object with Proxy Methods?" which requires some CS knowledge on what a Proxy Method is, and thankfully can be marked Expert since this is some knowledge that most people can get by without ever actually needing, but in certain situations can be extremely useful.

Since there haven't been any other opinions expressed in the past week we'll be going with 'assume POJS' and issuing a won't fix tag.

Reasoning:

Custom types without prototypes or Class instantiation are a designer/developer choice choice. It is always up to the developer to be aware of what they are doing in their code at any one time. Because of this we have decided to not support proxy methods in this snippet as it is considered "developer implemented" behavior.
