The es3 code is:
function A () ...;
A.zot = function zot () { ... this ... }
function B () ...;
B.prototype = new A();
B.zot = A.zot;
hence `this` is A in A.zot and B in B.zot.
I was thinking the equivalent es4 would be:
class A {
static function zot () { ... this class ... };
}
class B extends A {
static var zot = A.zot;
}
so I would need `this class` to be `B` in `B.zot`. Per your
'probably not', I guess that isn't going to work. Is there a better
way? Or do I have to duplicate the code for zot in each subclass?
