Neat.. didn't know about the array-like object ability. Looking at the
moo source, I see you can also use it for Array.from(arguments), which
is very useful! So it seems you can use it on anything that is
isEnumerable, which basically means not a function and has a numeric
length property.
var arr = Array.from({length: 5});
(new Element('div', {'html':
JSON.encode(arr)})).inject(document.body); // yields
[null,null,null,null,null]
Nice to know..
In a previous project, I would use Array.from (actually the not-as-
fancy $splat back then) for more flexibility in accepting parameters
('parametric polymorphism').. like with a function like:
var addToList = function(obj) {
Array.from(obj).each(function(obj) {
$('msg').innerHTML += "<br/>Adding " + obj.name + " to list";
});
};
