I think it should make the following expression evaluate to true:

object && object.constructor === Object
( I'm not sure if it's strict enough, but what I mean is that the
object should be constructed by Object )

I think Array.prototype should never be extended, if it does, $.extend
() is the first one to be broken (at least for jQuery 1.3.2).

As for array-like objects, you can see how $.each() is implemented (I
think it's like a convention that if an object conforms the condition
I mentioned before, and has a "length" property, it should be treated
like an array)

var o = { length: 2, a : 1 }

$.each(o, function(i, v) {
        console.log(i, v)
})

This code prints

0, undefined
1, undefined

in firebug, which means it breaks the convention and the result is
expected.

I don't quite understand what your are saying, could you be more
specific?
