Bug 462300 already contains far more discussion and implementation than it should, so instead of fully turning it into a meta bug, let's use this bug and create new bugs for follow-up fixes and missing functionality for the various builtins we want to self-host.

Self-hosting will likely require some constructs that are not available in standard JavaScript (not even in the browser APIs) and I think it already does. If possible, it would be nice to post on es-discuss when such a construct is used. The goal would not be to make it a standard, but to share experience on what it takes to self-host buitl-ins and share on what the standard part of the language may be lacking. I'll try to follow as much as I can on this topic to do that, but of course a post from the implementors would probably better informed.
