Thanks for the tip, I'm paranoid. IE has scarred me. I'll try to
remember that. I usually initialize with this.foo = $A(), so that's
what I was doing in my example.

If you don't do that, then don't you end up with an undefined wherever
an item was pulled out of the array? Such as in my example:
[1,2,3,undefined,5]
I'm getting mixed results in firebug and my ruby coding has trained me
to compact my arrays.

Good to know.

I wasn't aware of a splice method. After explaining my problem a
co-worker was talking about splicing and lamented that JavaScript
probably did not support a splice method natively :p

Thanks, I think that is what I need.
What I'm doing here is creating a new instance of my class for some
special DOM elements on a page and I want a way to determine if the
element is still in the page, so I have a isOrphaned() method on the
class, and when that method returns true then I call that object's
destroy method and then rip it out of the array.
I was trying to avoid cloning the enumerable, hence the original question.
