Cool. You answered 2 questions in one, because that explains something else I wanted to ask: why Object doesn't get implement() but only extend(). Pointless now. ^^ Plus, I'm starting to collect some interesting links / websites for further reading. Thanks for that!
To continue on the same topic, here's my next question: Is there any reason Date.now(), Number.random() and String.uniqueID() are extended rather than implemented? (which means are part of the Date, Number or String namespaces rather than their prototypes).
