Build Identifier: 

Create a new Object Class that has magic Catch All methods that are called on setting or gettings of the objects properties. This allows for things like abstraction of special objects or services. This is more powerful then __definePropery__ because these are called on every property with out advanced knowledge of the names.

Reproducible: Always

Attachment: Adds CatchAll object

Basic use.

jetpack.future.import('util.CatchAll');
var c = new jetpack.util.CatchAll(), data = {};
c.__get = function(v) { return data[v]; };
c.__set = function(v, vv) { return data[v] = vv; };
c.x = 1;
(c.x == data.x) // == true;

Attachment: Updated CatchAll

Updated CatchAll to add support for all FlexibleWrapper methods. Added second small demo. Shows complex, replicating objects.

We will be monitoring all these issues after the rebooted Jetpack code base is released in the first week of March to ensure their causes are not duplicated. Many of the bugs/issues with the prototype version of Jetpack will be made irrelevant given the structure of the new SDK.
