Object Construction with `__proto__`

__proto__.md

Object construction with __proto__ such as

let foo = { __proto__: null }
let bar = { __proto__: Bar.prototype, abc: 123 }

is perfectly standardized and safe, unlike the unsafe and legacy Object.prototype.__proto__ getter and setter methods.

The above code is equivalent to

let foo = Object.create(null);
let bar = { abc: 123 }
Object.setPrototypeOf(bar, Bar.prototype)

but faster^{[citation needed]} and much more ergonomic.

Unfortunately, TypeScript does not currently understand this pattern so any uses of it must be @ts-ignored, preferably with a link to this gist or the relevant TypeScript issue.
