           Summary: Support Top Level Array Generics
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 526+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: dhtmlkitchen at gmail.com


Array Generics the built-in Array.prototype methods as generic static methods
on the built in Array. 

Array Generics accept an Array-like object as the first argument and return the
method of the same name, called in context of the Array-like object.

// Non-generic. 
Array.prototype.slice.call(arrayLike);

// Generic.
Array.slice(arrayLike);

The generic approach reduces clutter and property lookups. It is cleaner and
faster.

These methods are implemented in Firefox for quite some time now. For details,
please see:

Still unimplemented in:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10_4_11; en) AppleWebKit/527.3+ (KHTML,
like Gecko) Version/3.1.1 Safari/525.18
