I have the following code at the top of my JS code which is from "JavaScript: The Good Parts":

Function.prototype.method = function (name, func) {
    this.prototype[name] = func;
    return this;
};

Object.method('superior', function (name) {
    var that = this,
        method = that[name];

    return function () {
        return method.apply(that, arguments);
    };
});

When querying an element's position with:

$(element).position();

the "superior" member is treated like a CSS property. The following patch has fixed things for me. I don't know what else might care here though.
