It wouldn’t be about stealing, but about setting up an object differently: var obj = { foo: function (x) { super.foo(x); } }; === VERSUS === var obj = {}; obj.foo = function (x) { super.foo(x); }; The <| helps to make that less urgent (I often use Object.create() and then add properties via assignment, to avoid the verbosity of property descriptors). -- Dr. Axel Rauschmayer a...@rauschma.de twitter.com/rauschma home: rauschma.de blog: 2ality.com _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
