4.2 ECMAScript Overview, 2nd paragraph.

Nit: Strictly speaking `Object.defineProperty()` gives a way for ECMAScript code to change the value of a non-writable property. Maybe change "Writable" to "Configurable"?

but, defineProperty does that by first change the Writable attribute..
Regardless did some minor treaking to that wording, but left in Writable as I think that for an overview it's meaning is more obvious than Configurable.
