Easier override of regular js functions (namespacing python functions) about rapydscript HOT 2 CLOSED

Part of the problem is duck-typing nature of JS/RS. Just because you see a.split() in the code, doesn't mean you're dealing with a string. In that context a could be a string, or some class named Loot that you're splitting with a friend. Compiler needs more information to do this operation without screwing things up for developers. There is no reason, however, stdlib can't overload String in this way (there are two versions of stdlib, one that modifies string, another creates a new class that inherits from it - the 2nd is less destructive but you'll have to declare strings as str('hello world')).

1. Is implemented in my fork, you can do str.split(a) and the same for all python's builtin string functions including format()
2. @atsepkov the way to do this, is to create a new access operator for compile time function mangling. So the compiler would translate

a->split() to str.split(a)

And the compiler can maintain an internal list of all such functions to be overriden.

However, I am not convinced that 2 is really worth it. It saves only two characters of typing, at the cost of adding a new operator.
