I have puzzled over the difference between defining an instance
method and a prototype method, maybe I finally see the light. What
you pointed out about the binding of `this` in the former and not the
latter was not obvious to me from the spec. Should it have been?
Are there other differences? What about instance vs. prototype for
`var`? (Other than that you can dynamically change the prototype
value.)
