Is there any possibility that some solution at the semantic level
could be back-ported to previous versions of the language, such as
with the JavaScript 1.6 Array Extras?  If so, and if further
discussion is just needed by others to finalize a solution, I'm sure
that I and others are willing to wait.  If not, I think that something
- such as the namespace function I proposed - should continue to be
considered as an "immediate" solution.
