Use cases for ES6 proxies

I think another reason is that ES6 proxies are impossible to polyfill.

My favorite use case would be Facebook's immutable library[1], which uses awkward set(), setIn() and updateIn() methods for changing its data structures. But as an ES5+ library it wouldn't want to require the consuming code to do ES6 transpilation.

It could reasonably provide an ES5 API over a transpiled ES6 core, for ES5 consumers to use while allowing ES6 consumers to use its ES6 API.
