I thought first that you mentioned them in "private" viewpoint, but in this sentence you say that "names" will help to place standard methods/properties in built-ins prototypes avoiding naming collisions. But how will it look? Can you show an example, it is very interesting. If you e.g. place "getPrototype" "name" into "Object.prototype" how will it help to avoid collisions if user will place "string property" "getPrototype" into the "Object.prototype" (or just in global object)? How will it help for "object detection"? Dmitry.
