I'm gonna poke this bug and add myself to it.

I've been bugging the V8 crowd to add this to their engine:

http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=264

so I'll bug you all to add it to Nitro :-). They have a small patch ready and
I've tested it successfully, so maybe we can get some friendly competition here
:-D.

A bit of background: as I stated on the V8 bug report, I'm the guy that
originally pestered Brendan Eich back in 2003 to add this capability to
Spidermonkey:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196097

Since he's done that, it's also been included in the Java-based Rhino engine.
I've also proposed this extension to the ECMA committee.

I'll attach 2 files to this bug report. One is the proposal that my business
partner and I made to the ECMA committee to add 'noSuchMethod' to ECMAScript.
The other is a pretty comprehensive set of tests, both one from Brendan and a
more complex one from my business partner Scott.

There is a pretty compelling case for adding this to your interpreter and that
is spelled out in the ECMA proposal document.

Thanks for your consideration!

Cheers,

- Bill
