trap

virtual override Obj? trap(Str name, Obj?[]? args := null)

div := Elem("div")
div->tabIndex = 0   // equivalent to div.setProp("tabIndex", 0)

For SVG elements (where ns is `http://www.w3.org/2000/svg`), trap routes to attr and setAttr:

svg := Svg.line(0, 0, 10, 10)
svg->x1 = 5      // equivalent to svg.setAttr("x1", "5")
svg->y1 = 5      // equivalent to svg.setAttr("y1", "5")
svg->x2 == "10"  // equivalent to svg.attr("x2")
