Looking at the source code you could do
getELementsByClassName("input_.+");, although it's undocumented
behaviour so it might mysteriously break after a prototype upgrade one
day. I know the current method (of using a regexp) is one of the slowest
ways of doing it.

That shouldn't be too intensive. See prototype.js's defnition for
getElementsByClassName and hack your own. What attribute would this be
useful for? Getting all text inputs? I would just getElementsByTagName
and do a quick loop.
