Subj : Method added into Object.prototype: can't call directly inside XUL context.

This code works in JavaScript shell & JavaScript environment (provided
by Extension Developer Extension), but doesn't work in script, loaded
into XUL file (XUL file is in "chrome://" space) with "XXX.aha is not a
function" error:

Object.prototype.aha = function() { window.dump("aha\n"); }
function XXX() {};
XXX.aha();

This works everywhere:

Object.prototype.aha = function() { window.dump("aha\n"); }
function XXX() {};
XXX.prototype.aha.apply(XXX);

Why first variant doesn't work in XUL context? :( Second variant is too
ugly to use...
