Function.name and Function.length should be configurable.

• Component: JavaScriptCore
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

According to https://tc39.github.io/ecma262/#sec-ecmascript-language-functions-and-classes, "Unless otherwise specified, the name property of a built-in Function object, if it exists, has the attributes { [[Writable]]: false, [[Enumerable]]: false, [[Configurable]]: true }."

work in progress: changed 'name' and 'length' properties to be reified on access.

https://tc39.github.io/ecma262/#sec-ecmascript-language-functions-and-classe also says "the length property of a built-in Function object has the attributes { [[Writable]]: false, [[Enumerable]]: false, [[Configurable]]: true }."

This code is repeated a lot. It might be worth having an inlined helper here that reifies if necessary.
You could call it reifyIfNecessary(PropertyName) or something.

[Saam Barati]

It might be worth adding some tests that will gracefully handle structure transitions
after reification.

[Saam Barati]

It's also worth adding tests that do indeed verify that
the property is configurable.
