Regression after migrating from Prototype 1.5.1.1 to 1.6 on Hash

[Jean-Philippe Encausse]

Hi !

It seems we have found a little regression after migrating from
Prototype 1.5.1.1 to 1.6
on Hash object:

var map = { hello: 42 };
var prototypeMap = $H(map);

var msg = "map.hello: " + map.hello + "<br>\n" +
"prototypeMap.hello: " + prototypeMap.hello ;

On prototype 1.5.1.1 the result is :
map.hello: 42
prototypeMap.hello: 42

On prototype 1.6 the result is :
map.hello: 42
prototypeMap.hello: undefined

I can send you a zip file that demonstrate the issue
Regards,
Jp
