[Laszlo-dev] do we support the "as" operator

[P T Withington]

Yes, we should support this.  It should just pass through in js2 and  
be a no-op in js1.

If you'll file a Jira request, I can do the trunk work and I'll let  
Don integrate and do the swf9 back end.

Don if you can review the 'is' change that would help, since I'd like  
to make these as separate changes but they obviously involve the same  
files.  Thanks.
