Solution to scoping problem
// I cannot change this object.
var normalResponseObject = {
send: function (status, data) {
alert("This was executed.");
}
};
var generateProxiedResponseSender = function (res) {
var oldSend = res.send;
var context = this;
res.send = function () {
// Problem 2: I want to be able to move the code which generates an object
// which wraps normalResponceObject elsewhere, but yet still
// have it set a reaction and status which can be accessed by another function.
context.status = arguments[0];
context.reaction = arguments[1];
oldSend.call(res, context.status, context.reaction);

It may not be beautiful, but it is at least becoming more explicit.
