Using the implementation I was alluding to, that operation would
BASICALLY be a no-op, because the new value of a.b would be a binding
object that exposes the properties of b but gets passed to methods as
if it were a. It would cause issues if you tried to then use a as a
prototype to construct a2, but in and of itself it wouldn't be an
issue.
