Hi.
If it hasn't been already considered (and rejected), I'd like to float
the idea of adding support for prototypal inheritance into the jQuery
core library.

Something like this...

    jQuery.beget = function (proto, props) {
        var F = function () {};
        F.prototype = proto;
        var instance = new F();
        return props ? $.extend(instance, props) : instance;
      };

...becomes immensely powerful - especially during plugin development
when allowing users to extend/override default options

    options = $.beget($.myplugin.defaults,  options || {});

...and in various other common use cases - including $.fn.data()
assignments, etc.


I for one would love to see this feature added.
