Javascript 'new' Keyword
<p><code>'Javascript: The Good Parts'</code> provides this example regarding the "Constructor Invocation Pattern" (page 29-30).</p>

<pre><code>var Quo = function (string) { 
    this.status = string;
};

Quo.prototype.get_status = function() { 
    return this.status;
};

var myQuo = new Quo("confused");

document.writeln(myQuo.get_status()); // returns confused
</code></pre>

<p>The section ends with, <code>"Use of this style of constructor functions is not recommended. We will see better alternatives in the next chapter."</code></p>

<p>What's the point of the example and strong recommendation against using this pattern?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
