Re: @Rick: All of this discussion probably seems like nit-picking your idea to death. In fact, I think it indicates that there's a lot of support and appreciation for your idea, and we're all (well, nearly all, there's a dissenter) just trying to make it fit in, and make it as cool as the idea warrants. I love it! How else are we going to make a good idea into an awesome idea? Such is why i brought it to the group - I'm just pleased that it wasn't discarded. I'm excited to see the process of it's evolution and hope it continues to do so and eventually to see Function#repeat() make its way into Prototype - but only the best possible version of the method!
