classProto= [];
classProto.method= function () {};
b= [];
b.__proto__= classProto; // <- That's all that's needed : an Array.create()
b.method
-> function
b is an array:
Array.isArray(b)
-> true
Its .length works:
b.length
-> 0
b.push(27) ; b.length
-> 1
b[2]= 27 ; b
-> [27, undefined, 27]
b.length
-> 3
So b is truly a subclass of Array, not a fake one.
