Whoa! That is invalid ECMAScript that relies on browser-dependent syntax
extensions.

Why do that, when you can easily write the same code with valid syntax?

var slice = (function($slice){
    try {
        $slice.call(document.childNodes);
        var slice = function(list){
            return $slice.call(list);
        };
    } catch(e) {
        slice = function(){
            for(var r = [], i = 0, length = list.length; i < length; ++i)
                r[i] = list[i]
            ;
            return r;
        };
    };
    return slice;
})(Array.prototype.slice);

Or:

var slice = (function($slice){
    try {
        $slice.call(document.childNodes);
        return function(list){
            return $slice.call(list);
        };
    } catch(e) {}

    return function(){
        for(var r = [], i = 0, length = list.length; i < length; ++i)
            r[i] = list[i]
        ;
        return r;
    };
})(Array.prototype.slice);
