I defiantly like this `<|` operator. I would happily have this instead.

I don't understand the limitation for `Date`.

var d = proto <| new Date();

proto has Date.prototype somewhere in the chain

Personally I would be tempted to say that making mutating the prototype
chain of an object after creating leads to black magic and abuse.
