I should add that there is a certain magic translation of core class names
from LZX to Javascript that is happening, so <view> actually corresponds to
the real class named LzView, same for most of the core classes that are
user visible. The magic happens via the static var declaration in a class
called "tagname":
class LzView extends LzNode {
static var tagname = 'view';
..
As Tucker said, if you redefine a core class like that, you do so at your
own risk,
all sorts of things will probably break.

Welcome to dynamic languages. Yes, it is allowed. If you really
wanted to, you could replace the core classes too. And, yes, it will
probably cause a problem if you do.
In general, Javascript emphasizes flexibility over safety. IMO, Java
leans the other way.
