I don't know if v8's Open Language will allow the addition of new 
properties (would be nice), but in this case I think we're safe since 
the request here is arguably more of a function than a property.

After all, the owner of an object isn't something intrinsic to an 
object, but merely incidental to where it happens to be placed at the 
moment.

Given this, Geoff's function seems like a good solution.  Whether it's 
written in fancy v8 syntax or the syntax we have doesn't matter much to 
me personally; it gets the job done.
