Code for "faking it" blog post re: static methods in JavaScript.
// the "usual" way...
// (1a) init your class and assign to a variable:
var myWidget = new net.fd.SomeWidget();
// now we have our instance
// (1b) call the method from your instance:
myWidget.inspectContext();
// ...except inspectContext() tells returns false
// meaning that we created myWidget for nothing

Code samples for "an annotated guide to the Google JavaScript Style Guide"
// mutliple vars on multiple lines:
var a = "alpha";
var b = "beta";
