This syntax didn't work for me, I have compiled with rhino1_5R5.
      function foo.prototype.bar(arg) {}
js: "G:\_tests\rhinoTest2.js", line 1: missing ( before function parameters
js: function foo.prototype.bar(arg)
js: .............^

Right, and I have filled a report at
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=243057

No :-(, it looks like JScript doesn't let you use COM objects as JavaScript
objects, or at least not for this particular host. However note that in the
IE host, you can write
    var obj = document.all["foo"];
It is possible that they use a convention, such as if a property is a
collection, then you can use square brackets instead of call operator, but
I'm not sure.
