Implementation of the class "extends" clause incorrectly uses __proto__ for setting prototypes

[Claude Pache]

Control case:

    Object.defineProperty(Object.prototype, '__proto__', {
        configurable: true
      , set(x) { Reflect.setPrototypeOf(this, x); }
    })
    class A extends Array { }
    Reflect.getPrototypeOf(A) === Array // true
    Reflect.getPrototypeOf(A.prototype) === Array.prototype // true
    "push" in (new A) // true

Things become weird as soon as someone is removing Object.prototype.__proto__:

    delete Object.prototype.__proto__
    class B extends Array { }
    Reflect.getPrototypeOf(B) === Array // false
    Reflect.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(B, '__proto__').value === Array // true
    Reflect.getPrototypeOf(B.prototype) === Array.prototype // false
    "push" in (new B) // false

Or, said more clearly:

    Object.defineProperty(Object.prototype, '__proto__', {
        configurable: true
      , set(x) { throw new EvalError("Your code is bitrotten!"); }
    })
    class C extends Array { } // EvalError: Your code is bitrotten!
