Keeping a third parameter beyond object and property name seems
unnecessary.
In my likely naive eyes, dynamic `this` gives us great power here.
Thinking about other languages that deal with the problem. As far as I
remember C# extension methods are just (really nice) syntactic sugar for
statics.
Is it difficult to convert something like:
```
Array.prototype.last = function(){ return this[this.length-1] }
```
To something like
```
function Array$prototype$last(param1){ return (function(){ return
this[this.length-1] }).call(param1); }
```
?
