I think you're assuming a problem of the "Doctor, it hurts when I do this" variety. Non-dynamic classes are not for everything. Where you need them as integrity devices, you do not want Dojo's AOP, no way no how. Most objects will continue to be plain old Object instances. But note that even in today's world, DOM types are nominal -- there are non-dynamic classes under the hood. Not all DOM or similar browser embedding objects can be mutated freely. Dojo survives these hazards, as far as I know. /be _______________________________________________ Es4-discuss mailing list Es4-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es4-discuss
