Animations raises TypeError when Object is prototyped.

Description

When adding a function in the prototype property of Object, ie :

if (!Object.noopFunc) {
        Object.prototype.noopFunc = function(e) {
                return "noOp";
        }
}

animations such as fadeOut raise an exception :

$("div").fadeOut(500, someCallback);

Uncaught TypeError: Object function (e) {
    return "noOp";
} has no method 'concat'

Do not modify Object.prototype! Why? http://erik.eae.net/archives/2005/06/06/22.13.54/

jQuery does not support that.

I understand your point, and I have found a workaround using "Object.defineProperty". Is it as bad, or is it better, giving the fact that the defined properties look now like native methodes?

Anyway, for me there is either a bug in jQuery or something missing in the documentation stating that this practice doens't work with jQuery. Do you agree ?
