This isn't really safe, because things in the prototype also can get
enumerated so if I do:
Array.prototype.chicken=function() {alert('a') }
n=[]
n['a']=1
for (i in n) alert(i)
will alert a and chicken

Perfectly valid behaviour, there's no reliability on the ordering, it's
implementation specific, I'd recommend rewriting to avoid needing for i in a
syntax.
