+ * An instance of a Property Descriptor, see Ecma-262 6.2.4.
+ *
+ * This property descriptor is immutable except for its properties enumerable
+ * and configurable. An invalid descriptor that is both
+ * a data and accessor descriptor can not be generated. To determine if
+ * a descriptor is an accessor, data, or generic descriptor, use the
+ * `has_x()` functions for appropriate x.
+ *
+ * Empty handles for `get` or `set` are interpreted as undefined.

[Jakob Kummerow, 2016/08/26 13:28:30]

Is there a particular reason for this, which causes the need to have explicit
has_get_ etc fields? The internal version uses:

    bool has_get() const { return !get_.is_null(); }

so I'm wondering what the advantage is of doing it differently in the public
version. (I'm aware that "not present" and "undefined" must be distinguished;
the question is why "empty handle" is interpreted as "present but undefined"
rather than "not present".)

Also, why is this special for get/set but not value? AFAICS, non-writable data
properties behave much like accessor properties when it comes to redefinitions.

+ *
+ * The difference between `hax_x() = false` and setting x to undefined or empty
+ * handle is important when re-defining a property. When re-defining,
+ * `has_x() = false`
+ * does not cause a type error if x is already defined differently.
+ * \code
+ * PropertyDescriptor(Local<Function>()), true) // var desc = {get: undefined}
+ * PropertyDescriptor() // var desc = {}
+ * \endcode
