that said, I like the dual behavior if not because there's no way even by
accident somebody can change a prototype chain in a for/in loop
var copied = {__proto__:null,"__proto__":Array.prototype};
var copy = {};
for (var key in copied) {
if (copied.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
copy[key] = copied[key];
// different from
// copy.__proto__ = copied.__proto__;
}
}
copy["__proto__"] === Array.prototype; // true
I've got the feeling this is not going that far though ... but it promotes
__proto__ avoidance ... now I am in conflict with myself :D
