ShrinkSafe appears to not handle '$super' in this code

[guest]

Sorry, I'm not a javascript expert. But I wanted to use Prototype (​http://www.prototypejs.org) to do some Ajax in my web application. The uncompressed version seems to work fine, but the compressed version gives error "_13a is not a function" for line:

Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater=Class.create(Ajax.Base,{initialize:function(_13a,_13b,url,_13d){
_13a(_13d); // <<< error here
this.onComplete=this.options.onComplete;

The uncompressed version is:

Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater = Class.create(Ajax.Base, {
  initialize: function($super, container, url, options) {
    $super(options);
    this.onComplete = this.options.onComplete;

Thanks.

thanks for the ref... has nothing to do with the snippets, per se. Our options? We could 'whitelist' variables starting with "$" from shrinksafe, provide some other whitelist mechanism, either one is pretty fragile or just say that we don't support this scenario; it's a slippery slope once you start depending on variable names.

I'm going to go with "we don't support this scenario"
