I will keep (or start more of) IM'ing/Jira'ing/IRC'ing issue, and I'm not trying to be a jerkface, but I am just genuinely trying to find out Javascript has some sort of special operators or built in variables like Java and Python, that allow access to hidden things. I know this isn't a javascript mailing list, but since it's the pattern most of the library is based off of it seemed like a reasonable place to post the question. The pager was mostly just a real life example.

Just to follow up on this--we like answering JavaScript questions like this! And no one thinks you're anything other than awesome. Keep it coming.

P.S. I know monkeypatching and related things are philosophically tough things to talk about, but yes, I am trying to find out if I can 'cheat', as one way to phrase it. :p


I lied slightly. In pre-3.1 versions of Firefox only, closures do quietly leak their scope. You could use this for some serious hackery, but it would be effectively useless for production purposes.
