A number of people have suggested this idea to me, so I figure I'd bring it up here.

es5-shim is the leader of the pack in many regards. There are a number of other efforts that try to do the same thing:

* http://code.google.com/p/ddr-ecma5/
* http://augmentjs.com/
* All the polyfills listed amongst the MDN Javascript pages

But es5-shim seemingly has the most careful implementation and best tests. Also the most community and expert review.

It would be great to help solidify its status as the defacto es5 shim. Putting it under the guise of the Dojo Foundation would help do that, I think.

Do others think this is a worthwhile idea?
