I always wondered about that. I had assumed I must be misunderstanding either what Prototype.js did or why I was named Prototype.js and not "Class.js". Apparently I was not misunderstanding. It's sad to see people take a cool feature and undermine it to try to make it act like less useful but familiar feature. I guess it would be like someone writing a macro library for C++ that converts all exceptions to C-style error code returns.
