*
* Prototype extends all native JavaScript arrays with quite a few powerful
* methods.
*
* This is done in two ways:
*
* * It mixes in the [[Enumerable]] module, which brings a ton of methods in
* already.
* * It adds quite a few extra methods, which are documented in this section.
*
* With Prototype, arrays become much, much more than the trivial objects we
* used to manipulate, limiting ourselves to using their `length` property and
* their `[]` indexing operator. They become very powerful objects that
* greatly simplify the code for 99% of the common use cases involving them.
*
* <h4>Why you should stop using for…in to iterate</h4>
*
* Many JavaScript authors have been misled into using the `for…in` JavaScript
* construct to loop over array elements. This kind of code just wont work
* with Prototype.
*
* The ECMA 262 standard, which defines ECMAScript 3rd edition, supposedly
* implemented by all major browsers including MSIE, defines ten methods
* on Array (§15.4.4), including nice methods like `concat`, `join`, `pop`, and
* `push`.
*
* This same standard explicitely defines that the `for…in` construct (§12.6.4)
* exists to enumerate the properties of the object appearing on the right side
* of the `in` keyword. Only properties specifically marked as _non-enumerable_
* are ignored by such a loop. By default, the `prototype` and `length`
* properties are so marked, which prevents you from enumerating over array
* methods when using for…in. This comfort led developers to use `for…in` as a
* shortcut for indexing loops, when it is not its actual purpose.
*
* However, Prototype has no way to mark the methods it adds to
* `Array.prototype` as non-enumerable. Therefore, using `for…in` on arrays
* when using Prototype will enumerate all extended methods as well, such as
* those coming from the [[Enumerable]] module, and those Prototype puts in the
* Array namespace (listed further below).
*
* <h4>What you should use instead</h4>
*
* You can revert to vanilla loops:
*
* for (var index = 0; index < myArray.length; ++index) {
* var item = myArray[index];
* // Your code working on item here...
* }
*
* Or you can use iterators, such as [[Array#each]]:
*
* myArray.each(function(item) {
* // Your code working on item here...
* });
*
*
* The inability to use `for...in` on arrays is not much of a burden: as youll
* see, most of what you used to loop over arrays for can be concisely done
* using the new methods provided by Array or the mixed-in [[Enumerable]]
* module. So manual loops should be fairly rare.
*
*
* <h4>A note on performance</h4>
*
* Should you have a very large array, using iterators with lexical closures
* (anonymous functions that you pass to the iterators and that get invoked at
* every loop iteration) in methods like [[Array#each]] — _or_ relying on
* repetitive array construction (such as uniq), may yield unsatisfactory
* performance. In such cases, youre better off writing manual indexing loops,
* but take care then to cache the length property and use the prefix `++`
* operator:
*
* // Custom loop with cached length property: maximum full-loop
* // performance on very large arrays!
* for (var index = 0, len = myArray.length; index < len; ++index) {
* var item = myArray[index];
* // Your code working on item here...
* }
*
