Cannot extend a Binding with an @-rule bind method

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Run a base2 test in IE with a console or FirebugLite.
2. Inspect base2.DOM.Event.bind.toString()

What is the expected output? 

bind: function(event) {
  //-dean: put more fixes here
  this.base(event);
  event.target = event.srcElement;
  return event;
}

What do you see instead?

function(object) { return this(object); // cast }

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Version 1.1, r14. Vista.

Please provide any additional information below.

I believe the issue is that the bind-aware implementation of extend in 
Binding can't find nested @rule versions of bind in _static, and so it 
overwrites them with this.bind.

Another way to test it is like so:

foo = base2.DOM.Binding.extend({}, {"@1":{bind:function(){extended!}}})
>> foo.bind remains Binding.bind

Ok, the actual expected output is

function() { // override
  var previous = this.base;
  this.base = ancestor;
  var returnValue = method.apply(this, arguments);
  this.base = previous;
  return returnValue;
};

but that's not really the point. ;)

Bind methods will be different for different browsers as each browser has a 
different
inheritance path depending on which features the browser has missing.

I don't really consider this a bug.

Changed to "WontFix" (see my previous comment).

Presumably, 

 event.target = event.srcElement;

is supposed to fire on IE, but it doesn't.

That's the point of the bug report. One of us is missing something. :)

OK. The penny the penny has dropped for me. I now see the problem. :-) 
Unfortunately
I don't have a copy of Vista. Can you supply your UA string please?

I'll reopen the bug...

I'm sorry that the original bug report was so obtuse. I started with "hey, IE 
event 
fix isn't working" and ended up so drilled into your code that my but report 
was 
ultra-technical. 

Fwiw, this @ rule is working well:

    "@MSIE.+win": {
        bind: function(event) {

It's just that the special code in Binding for overriding 'bind' isn't allowing 
this 
version of bind to be mixed into Event, as described above.

Here is the UA string you asked for:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; 
.NET 
CLR 3.0.04506; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

I think this is now fixed. Can someone test it for me? Preferably Scott. :-)
