paul iannazzo commented on COUCHDB-1300:
----------------------------------------
I found a workaround (i guess solution in this case) to my problem.
instead of using array prototypes i can get the same functionality via monads
(specifically the underscore library).
anyway, i found this issue very confusing.
thank you for your quick response.
