Making the array view types instances of Array might work, but again given that they're fixed length, there's a significant difference there. That the length property of a particular array subclass leaves the constructor non-configurable and read-only isn't much of a trick in ES5. That said, why *doesn't* TypedArray spec a mutable variant? Surely it'd be useful. Regards -- Alex Russell slightlyoff@google.com alex@dojotoolkit.org BE03 E88D EABB 2116 CC49 8259 CF78 E242 59C3 9723
