How best to inherit from native JavaScript object? (Especially String)

Question

I\'m a long-time browser but a first time participator. If I\'m missing any etiquette details, please just let me know!

Also, I\'ve searched high and low, including this

Answer 1

I would look into creating a new object, using the native object as a backing field and manually recreating the functions for the native objects. For some very rough, untested sample code...

var myString = {
    _value = ''
    ,substring:_value.substring
    ,indexOf:_value.indexOf
}

Now, I'm sure this wont work as intended. But I think with some tweaking, it could resemble on object inherited from String.
