An idea from jQuery which might be borrowed to Prototype

[buda]

Hi!

Working on porting Microsoft DataLink plugin to Prototype i began learn jQuery and found one interesting thing; instead of workin whith JS objects in the way of Object.method(obj) they use wrap this object in so called jQuery object which already has all needed method and propeties to work with the object but keep original object inside untouched.

This has a benefit - original object is untouched and we can work wit it like it has everithing we need. 

And there is the second benefit - the wrap object has internal id !!! - so it can use storage like DOM element in Prototype.js but I cannot!

So, I need the idea to have an ability to any object use the storage

var a = {

  name: 'John',

  last: 'Pupkin'

}

add to 'a' an 'id' field - corrupt 'a' as object so I need a way to identify a to have an ability to use the storage

Any idea?
