A strange object ?

[007Julien]

I am not an expert with classes and objects and I would like to understand this structure from Brian Kirchoff (see the attached text file coming from the site niceEditor )

var bkExtend = function(){
	var args = arguments;
	if (args.length == 1) args = [this, args[0]];
	for (var prop in args[1]) args[0][prop] = args[1][prop];
	return args[0];
};
function bkClass() { };// One empty class

bkClass.prototype.construct = function() {};// With one empty function construc

bkClass.extend = function(def) {
  var classDef = function() {       
      if (arguments[0] !== bkClass) { return this.construct.apply(this, arguments); }
  };
  var proto = new this(bkClass);
  bkExtend(proto,def);
  classDef.prototype = proto;
  classDef.extend = this.extend;

  return classDef;
};

Then bkClass.extend is used along the script to build the Editor...
