Anyone know the history of Object.prototype.eval?

What browsers supported it?

In this bug: bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=352045 Brendan provides a background of the "feature" (more like "bug"). This is useful as well: my.opera.com/hallvors/blog/show.dml/449976

window.eval(str, ctx) accepted a second argument too able to give you access inside the context scope, similar to the one you have through the prototype.

Firefox 2.X and FF 3, if I remember correctly, should expose those features, as well as some Rhino 1.6 or lower
