Subj : spidermonkey watch on object.__count__

now i want to call a function each time a property is added to an object

i had hoped to do this like this:

o={};
o.watch("__count__",function(p,o,n){println("this[p]:"+this[p]+" p:"+p+"
o:"+o+" n:"+n);return n;});
println(o.__count__);
o.x=10;
println(o.__count__);

output is:
0
1

=> __count__ is "incremented" but my function isn't called

any ideas how to do this (call a function each time a property is added)?
if possible in javascript - if not with additional native code (via the
spidermonkey API without changing spidermonkey code)

or should the above work and spidermonkey be fixed?
