Subj : unknown method resolve

hello,

I was wondering if in one of the js engine there is something like
an unknown method resolver ?

for exemple:

MyConstructor = function()
    {
    //code...
    }

MyConstructor.prototype.test1 = function()
    {
    return "existing method";
    }

MyConstructor.prototype.__resolve = function()
    {
    return "method \"" + arguments[0] + "\" does not exist";
    }

//ex:
foo = new MyConstructor();
foo.test1(); // existing method
foo.bar(); // method "bar" does not exist


this is inpired form the ActionScript (ECMA-262 based) implementation of the
flash player v6+
which do have such a method resolver.

If equivalent behaviour does not exist in on of the jseng, what would it
take to
add such behaviour in the Rhino engine ?
