Very simple: You have not added the property to the object referred to by 
“options[1]”, you have added it and removed it later, or you have set it to 
“undefined”.  “JJ”’s argument is sound as well.

For example, one can create an object that cannot be augmented with 
properties:

  var obj = Object.freeze({});

  /* TypeError exception only in strict mode */
  obj.h = 42;

  /* undefined */
  console.log(obj.h);

This behavior actually applies to primitive strings since ECMAScript Ed. 5.
[If one wishes to call custom methods on string values, one must augment the 
String prototype, or use .call() or .apply() instead.]
