Simple JavaScript Inheritance with bound callbacks

All credit for the inheritance system goes to John Resig. I adapted it to work both with Node.js or in a browser, and added a function to generate bound callbacks.

// define a class
var Person = Class.extend({
 
  // this is the constructor
  init : function(name) {
    this.name = name;
  },
 
  // you can use instance properties in your methods
  hello : function() {
    console.log("Hello, I'm " + this.name + "!");
  }
});
 
// define a subclass
var Pirate = Person.extend({
 
  // you can override methods
  hello : function() {
    console.log("Ahoy! Me be " + this.name + ".");
  }
});
 
new Person('Jim').hello();    // #=> "Hello, I'm Jim!"
new Pirate('John').hello();   // #=> "Ahoy! Me be John."
 
// create a bound callback
var jane = new Person('Jane');
var callback = jane.callback('hello');
 
// you can use this callback anywhere, it will always be bound to the instance
callback();   // #=> "Hello, I'm Jane!"

Clah is tested with Jasmine and Travis CI.
