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).
