Oskar,  is  it  a  pain  in the neck because there's another framework
doing  the  same  thing  in  this  project? Browsers have ever-growing
support  for  extending  natives, so in your experience, is it getting
real-world worse by being more popular and leading to more collisions?
Or  theoretically  worse  because  the  wider  availability is in turn
provoking more "political" objections (which I don't buy)?

YMMV,  and  I  know  about the movmement afoot to the contrary, but as
long  as you control all the JS, I think things are getting better out
there  for  extending  natives.  At the same time, though, any opaque,
third-party  "utility"  scripts  (like  analytics, live chat, ads, all
that  stuff)  must  avoid  extending natives. And since that cannot be
enforced, I can see why one might want to wrap everything. Sucks.
