// Sample demo of how to gain access to "private" variables in JavaScript,
// even if they'd normally be inaccessible due to the closure.
var Table = function () {
    var _array = ["super", "secret", "message"];
    return {
        get:    function (i)   { return _array[i]; },
        store:  function (i,v) { _array[i] = v;    },
        append: function (v)   { _array.push(v);   }  
    };
};


var t = new Table(); // how would we ever gain access to the secret private internal `_array_`??
var stolenArray;
t.store("push", function () { stolenArray = this; });
t.append("whocares");
console.log(stolenArray); // ["super", "secret", "message"]
