[Laszlo-user] overridding core class by inclusion

[P T Withington]

Welcome to dynamic languages.  Yes, it is allowed.  If you really  
wanted to, you could replace the core classes too.  And, yes, it will  
probably cause a problem if you do.

In general, Javascript emphasizes flexibility over safety.  IMO, Java  
leans the other way.
