Script Preparation code:

Tests:

getter / setter
data2.test = Math.random(); a += data2.test;
proxy
proxy.test = Math.random(); a += proxy.test;
events
pub(data3, 'set-test', Math.random()); pub(data3, 'get-test');
plain object
data4.test = Math.random(); a += data4.test;
events (kinda cheating)
// note that is almost certainly not accurate since it probably ends after this function is called, not when getting-test triggers pub(data3, 'set-test', Math.random());
