Various current proposals for Function.bind have a drawback that in a typical situation one needs to use the reference to the object twice as in
obj.method.bind(obj) This double-referencing can be avoided if bind would be applied to the object, not to the function. The result of the bind call would be a view of the object that translates any function property of the object into a bound function so obj.method.bind(obj) could be written as obj.bind().method Even shorter form can be archived if bind would not be a function but rather a getter-property so the above can be written as obj.bind.method With such short form the need, for example, for Array methods taking an extra thisObj argument would be pretty much removed.
