/**
 * This library extends standard "Object.create" method
 * with ability to create object with specified class.
 *
 * Also it defines concept of a meta-constructor which
 * creates other construcotrs, which in turn create
 * object with specified class.
 *
 * Currently, non-standard __proto__ extension
 * is used to inject the needed prototype for arrays.

/**
 * This library defines a new style ES objects
 * which support delegation based mixins. A mixin
 * chain is stored in the internal [[Mixin]] property.
 *
 * Used features: Harmony (ES6) proxies.
 *
 * Tested in FF4 beta.
