[Proto-Scripty] Re: prototype needs a noConflict() option similar to the one in jQuery

2010-04-26 Thread T.J. Crowder
 ...I believe that what *was* said was that you would  
 stop extending the prototype...

On DOM elements (and event objects, I think), using wrappers instead.
I don't think there's a plan for stopping extending the prototypes of
Function, String, Array, etc., but perhaps things have moved on.

Actually, I don't think extending the prototypes is really the big
issue with avoiding conflicts much of the time (witness how happy
jQuery and Prototype usually are on the same page if you use jQuery's
noConflict -- despite Prototype extending the prototypes). The issue
really is with global symbol clash (in that specific case, with `$`).
Not that there can't be (and sometimes are) clashes at the prototype
level, just that it seems like less of an issue.

FWIW,
