[As suggested by Tobie - reposted from http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-spinoffs/browse_thread/thread/a7edd31205e69472]
I've started a path to reimplementing commonly reused global names with a patch (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/10958) This patch is for $ function. I've giving it the namespace Prototype.upgradeElement, but the actual name is unimportant currently - its very easy to change in my git branch and to recreate the patch. Whilst there are many classes and functions in the global namespace, this patch is a start to give an idea how easy it is to replace the code throughout the src, and ensure the original tests still work (and thus all dependent code will still work). Subsequent patches can fix up other commonly overused variables/ functions, and most importantly, create a noConflict() method to let users manage it at runtime.
