Prototyping

This gist is part of a collection of gists that extend JavaScript data prototypes such as Boolean, Number, String, Array and Object. See below for links to all the gists:

• Boolean
• Number
• String
• Array
• Object

Note: This prototyping gist has being designed differently because Object prototyping has the propensity to break some libraries such as jQuery for example.
