Use of .apply() with 'new' operator. Is this possible?

Question

In JavaScript, I want to create an object instance (via the new operator), but pass an arbitrary number of arguments to the constructor. Is this possible?

Answer 1

An improved version of @Matthew's answer. This form has the slight performance benefits obtained by storing the temp class in a closure, as well as the flexibility of having one function able to be used to create any class

var applyCtor = function(){
    var tempCtor = function() {};
    return function(ctor, args){
        tempCtor.prototype = ctor.prototype;
        var instance = new tempCtor();
        ctor.prototype.constructor.apply(instance,args);
        return instance;
    }
}();

This would be used by calling applyCtor(class, [arg1, arg2, argn]);
