The original proposal was for two methods: Object.assign and Object.define.
Object.assign would pave the cowpath of all of the extend() APIs already in circulation. We thought the precedent of not copying enumerable methods in those cases was enough reason for Object.assign to have this behavior. We discussed Object.define for a while, but didn't feel like there was enough precedent either with a library function like Object.define or with Object.defineProperty in general to make a decision here. Instead, we would like the overall JavaScript community to hash out some approaches for working with the new ES5 property API so we can provide something official and solid in a future version. -- Yehuda Katz (ph) 718.877.1325
