Extending Object.prototype JavaScript

Question

I am not asking if this is okay:

Object.prototype.method = function(){};

This is deemed evil by pretty much everyone, cons

Answer 1

Well in "JavaScript: the good parts", there is a similar function, i think that is very usefull to improve javascript base objects (like String, Date, etc..), but just for that.

// Add a method conditionally. from "JavaScript: the good parts"

Function.prototype.method = function (name, func) {
    if (!this.prototype[name]) {
        this.prototype[name] = func;
    }
}
