Create JS object

/*

Similarly to the classical Holy Grail, you would use an empty temporary
constructor function F(). You then set the prototype of F() to be the parent
object. Finally, you return a new instance of the temporary constructor:

*/

function object(o) {
	function F() {}
	F.prototype = o;
	return new F();
}

/* 

Classical inheritance to a language without classes
 
A function similar to this exists in the YUI library (and probably other libraries) and
brings the , if you decide that this is
the best approach for your project.

This pattern is also referred to as one using a proxy function or a proxy
constructor, instead of a temporary constructor, because the temporary
constructor is used as a proxy to get to the parent’s prototype.

You can use an immediate function and store the proxy
function in its closure:
