Added `proxy' keyword support The concept of proxy methods will become an important, core concept in ease.js that will provide strong benefits for creating decorators and proxies, removing boilerplate code and providing useful metadata to the system. Consider the following example: Class( 'Foo', { // ... 'public performOperation': function( bar ) { this._doSomethingWith( bar ); return this; }, } ); Class( 'FooDecorator', { 'private _foo': null, // ... 'public performOperation': function( bar ) { return this._foo.performOperation( bar ); }, } ); In the above example, `FooDecorator` is a decorator for `Foo`. Assume that the `getValueOf()` method is undecorated and simply needs to be proxied to its component --- an instance of `Foo`. (It is not uncommon that a decorator, proxy, or related class will alter certain functionality while leaving much of it unchanged.) In order to do so, we can use this generic, boilerplate code return this.obj.func.apply( this.obj, arguments ); which would need to be repeated again and again for *each method that needs to be proxied*. We also have another problem --- `Foo.getValueOf()` returns *itself*, which `FooDecorator` *also* returns. This breaks encapsulation, so we instead need to return ourself: 'public performOperation': function( bar ) { this._foo.performOperation( bar ); return this; }, Our boilerplate code then becomes: var ret = this.obj.func.apply( this.obj, arguments ); return ( ret === this.obj ) ? this : ret; Alternatively, we could use the `proxy' keyword: Class( 'FooDecorator2', { 'private _foo': null, // ... 'public proxy performOperation': '_foo', } ); `FooDecorator2.getValueOf()` and `FooDecorator.getValueOf()` both perform the exact same task --- proxy the entire call to another object and return its result, unless the result is the component, in which case the decorator itself is returned. Proxies, as of this commit, accomplish the following: - All arguments are forwarded to the destination - The return value is forwarded to the caller - If the destination returns a reference to itself, it will be replaced with a reference to the caller's context (`this`). - If the call is expected to fail, either because the destination is not an object or because the requested method is not a function, a useful error will be immediately thrown (rather than the potentially cryptic one that would otherwise result, requiring analysis of the stack trace). N.B. As of this commit, static proxies do not yet function properly.

'public proxy performOperation': '_foo', } ); `FooDecorator2.getValueOf()` and `FooDecorator.getValueOf()` both perform the exact same task --- proxy the entire call to another object and return its result, unless the result is the component, in which case the decorator itself is returned. Proxies, as of this commit, accomplish the following: - All arguments are forwarded to the destination - The return value is forwarded to the caller - If the destination returns a reference to itself, it will be replaced with a reference to the caller's context (`this`). - If the call is expected to fail, either because the destination is not an object or because the requested method is not a function, a useful error will be immediately thrown (rather than the potentially cryptic one that would otherwise result, requiring analysis of the stack trace).
