Javascript getters/setters in IE?

javascript internet-explorer setter getter incompatibility

For whatever reason, Javascript getters/setters for custom objects seem to work with any browser but IE.

Does IE have any other non-standard mechanism for this? (As with many other features)

If not, are there any workarounds to achieve the same functionality?

IE8 has it through defineProperty, but only for DOM objects. But supposedly, it'll eventually come for JavaScript objects as well.
