I think both are valid concerns but should be a separate bug. The problem this
addresses is when using jQuery, like 90% of the objects you deal with is this
Array-like object. Having to click to check what's inside every time will big
stress to the user.

My worry is that the isArrayLike Object() logic too forgiving. This patch uses 
  typeof o.length === "number"
but I think there is a good chance that the user will have an object like this.
  var video = {title:"foo", length: 20, url: "http://foo/ba.mp4"}
