Ah, I see this part is already covered by Maciej’s Function.create 
semi-constructor proposal. In that case, should make sure this 
Function.create also supports passing closures so that we won’t need a 
Function.create2 :). Maybe make the params parameter list an array so 
that create is less dependant on the length of the arguments passed and 
more extensible.
