guys, I think you're getting upset over nothing. MooTools 1.3 has
Object.clone, that is, a method called clone on the Object namespace - not
on its prototype. If, for example, there were an Array or Object that had a
clone method, it would not collide with this.
var cloner = { clone: function(){ alert('clone!'); } };
cloner.clone(); //alerts "clone!"
var cloned = Object.clone(cloner);
cloned.clone(); //alerts "clone!"
no collisions.
