How would the core feel about a safe version of Object.extend?
Object.extend = function(destination, source, safe) {
safe = !!safe || false;
for (var property in source){
destination[property] = (safe && typeof destination[property] !==
'undefined') ?
destination[property] : source[property];
}
return destination;
};
Existing functionality is covered (safe defaults false, which goes to
source[property], no need to change anything.
i found a recent need to extend a class object after it had been
created, but i didn't want to overwrite properties if they'd already
been defined. i imagine there would be some minimal performance hit
testing each property if safe==true, but otherwise...? Any visible
problems?
Just a suggestion, it helped me out.
