It's got the Array extras from 1.6, but not 1.8 (reduce)

Yes, it's got those. Though strangely with __defineGetter__,
__defineSetter__, and array extras, and any other "native" function
I've tried, the toString function outputs actual source code instead
of just "function () { [native code] }" like most other
implementations. Not sure whether it's C code or javascript code in
the functions.

You can apply array functions to strings, if that's what you mean.

Nope

I don't know how you could have javascript without those. Pretty much
every website would break. Event handlers would be impossible.

Don't know about that either.
