Defining an ES5 property descriptor map, where own property descriptors of all given objects are copied.

    var descriptor = {};
    Array.prototype.forEach.call(arguments, function (properties) {
      Object.getOwnPropertyNames(properties).forEach(function(name) {
        descriptor[name] = Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(properties, name);
      });
    });

In addition base property is defined that points to a primary ancestor of the resulting object.

    descriptor.base = { value: this };
    return Object.freeze(Object.create(this, descriptor));
  }}
}));
