:: Details

The code snippet in the "Custom Object" section, right before the "Inner functions" subsection is:

function lastNameCaps() {
  return this.last.toUpperCase();
}
var s = new Person('Simon', 'Willison');
lastNameCaps.call(s);
// Is the same as:
s.lastNameCaps = lastNameCaps;
s.lastNameCaps();

However "lastNameCaps.call(s)" is not quite the same as "s.lastNameCaps = lastNameCaps; s.lastNameCaps();", because in the former case "s" doesn't get the "lastNameCaps" property.
