  nu.__proto__= subArray.prototype;
  return nu;

subArray.prototype= {
  __proto__: Array.prototype,

/*
o= new subArray(1,2,3)
[ 1, 2, 3 ]

o instanceof Array
true

o instanceof subArray
true

o.custom()
'custom'

o.length
3

o.length=5, o
[ 1, 2, 3, ,  ]

o.length=2, o
[ 1, 2 ]

o.push(3), o
[ 1, 2, 3 ]

...etc
