Very interested in the Class Free topic. Would something like _.extend be appropriate for the other_constructor rather than selecting specific properties to include?

I am not sure what Douglas would say, but my impression is he favors composition over inheritance.

_.extend is a lot like inheritance, whereas 'instancing'/invoking another constructor and grabbing references to what you need is more like composition.
