One difference I see between Object.subclass and
Function.prototype.createDelegatingTo is that the latter does not
enforce anything on the prototype.
--
( Array.createDelegatingTo({}) ) instanceof Array === false
// while
( new Object.subclass(Array) ) instanceof Array === true
--
On the other hand, Function.prototype.createDelegatingTo is more
expressive and Object.subclass can be implemented from it.
If methods such as Array.create are to be considered, this issue of
enforcing Array.prototype will have to be addressed. I have personnally
no strong conviction on one side or the other.
