Agreed, the pattern of FooPrototype being an instance of Foo makes things more complicated for no obvious reason, and is only really used by conformance suites anyway :D I see no reason ever create a new type that has screwy prototype/instance magic, the existing cases only get in by virtue of dubious backwards compatibility claims. --Oliver _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
