Inheritance jQuery plugin

Surely, many developers using jQuery encounter inheritance problems in large projects using OOP. Since I myself had recently been puzzled by a similar problem, I decided to write a plug-in for jQuery that helps in this difficult task. Some ideas are borrowed from Base2.

How to use

$.inherit([base], methods, [statical])

* This source code was highlighted with Source Code Highlighter.

Where:

• base - the base type (if any)
• methods - overlapping and new methods
• statical - static properties and methods

"Magic" methods and properties

In addition, there are several "magic" methods:

• __constructor - method called when instantiating
• __base - a method that allows calling the same method of the base type
• this .__ self - this way you can access static properties and methods from within

Example

// Базовый тип
var A = $.inherit(
  {
    __constructor : function(property) {
      this.property = property;
    },
    getProperty : function() {
      return this.property;
    },
    getStaticProperty : function() {
      return this.__self.getStaticProperty();
    }
  },
  {
    staticProperty : 'static property of A',
    getStaticProperty : function() {
      return this.staticProperty;
    }
  });

// Производный тип от А
var B = $.inherit(
  A,
  {
    getProperty : function() {
      return this.__base() + ' in B';
    }
  },
  {
    staticProperty : 'static property of B',   
  });

var instance = new B('value');
alert(instance.getProperty());
alert(instance.getStaticProperty());
alert(B.staticProperty);
