By neonstalwart:

@mbest if you look at the minified code, you'll see that the property name `__ko_proto__` gets mangled to `B` (the value is random so it could be anything but it is actually `B` for now)

see https://github.com/SteveSanderson/knockout/blob/0b442299fa6c70abf37087a90a6c96d6c6df9029/build/output/knockout-latest.js#L31 and you'll see

```js
a.u.fn={B:a.u,equalityComparer:function(a,c){return a===p||typeof a in E?a===c:r}};
```

by quoting `__ko_property__` as in:

```js
var protoProperty = ko.observable.protoProperty = "__ko_proto__";
```

it stops that property being mangled when its minified and by using `protoProperty` as an alias to it, you can save a few bytes.

steve still needs to generate a build that includes these changes but @mbest did you try your test with the minified code?
