JS doesn't need it and it's inclusion in JS2 bothers me.

C pointers are more flexible than arrays, but a language with both arrays and pointers feels more flexible, easier to adapt to one's currently preferred way of thinking, even when (as in C) arrays are little more than syntactic sugar over pointers.

Hmmm... I'd be interested to hear the justification for that statement. "Prototype-based OO is, by its very nature, more flexible than class-based."
