The __proto__ property has been around for ~13yrs and is now a de facto standard supported by Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Adobe Flash, Adobe AIR, Rhino, Ringo, Narwhal, & Node.js. It's available on desktops, mobile phones, tablets, and even eReaders.
The __proto__ property is a powerful language feature that cannot be reproduced through any existing part of the language. Current proposals like, http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=strawman:array_create, are too limiting, (it's useful for more than just arrays) and don't cover the full functionality/flexibility of __proto__. I propose making it official by beginning the process of standardizing __proto__ or some addition of equal utility.
