about source code Class.create()

[BeiMingyu]

 I have a problem  about the source code (version 1.7):

var Class = (function() {

    function create() {
    var parent = null, properties = $A(arguments);
    if (Object.isFunction(properties[0]))
      parent = properties.shift();

    function klass() {
      this.initialize.apply(this, arguments);   // Where has the method   initialize  been defined??
    }

}

Where has the method   initialize  been defined??

It can be defined by the specification object passed into
Class.create. If it isn't, a default is defined about 15 lines further
down:

if (!klass.prototype.initialize)
klass.prototype.initialize = Prototype.emptyFunction;
