SYNOPSIS
  prototype.rb facilitates a prototype based coding style 

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype-based_programming

  for ruby

WHY
  prototype based programming looks very nice ;-)

  also, there are many problems that a genuine singleton object with cloning
  abilities can illuminate clearly

  it's the basis of a new rendering model for rails

HISTORY
  2.0.0
    completely gutted the prototype library and re-implemented with a
    module/singleton_class/include approach.

    note that this version increases a major number because it is NOT
    compatible with past releases.  the incompatible change is that 'clone'
    now returns an object that does not reflect changes made to the parent: it
    is completely independant.

  1.0.0

    cleanup up a small error where bareword syntax errors in a prototype block
    were silently ignored
