Not so:

js> o = {__noSuchMethod__: function () {
         print(Array.prototype.toSource.call(arguments);
}}
js> o.fooby()
["fooby", []]
js> o.foopy()
["foopy", []]

Unlike invocation in general, __noSuchMethod__ works (on purpose) only 
for named calls (not indexed ones, or native ones where there is no 
immediate name operand of a callee-computing bytecode sequence).
