[Laszlo-dev] code for component "style" class probably will not work in swf9

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert

The code in question is in the extend() method on the class 'style'

    <!--- returns a new lz.style object which is based on this one
        with only specified attributes modified
        <br/>param dictionary args: the attributes for the new lz.style
    -->
    <method name="extend" args="args">
        var temp = {};
        for (var p in args) {
            temp[p] = args[p];
        }
        temp.__proto__ = this;

        new LzDelegate(temp, '_forwardstylechanged', this, 'onstylechanged');
        return temp;
    </method>


So, what's this trying to accomplish? Can we instantiate a proper
style object? Was this trying to save
the cost of a real class instance instantiation time?
