It still wouldn't work because you need the arguments object, not
arguments[0], for the call to apply.
My personal preference would be to use merge because it wouldn't
mutate the input object you give it, but there are potential
efficiency concerns with all that extra overhead. The original
solution was probably fine. MochiKit isn't a replacement for
JavaScript, you shouldn't try and wedge it in everywhere just because
it might be possible :)
