** in javascript?
<p><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11117503/javascript-standard-in-using-new-key-word#11117553">This question</a> shows the usage of <code>**var = new Object();</code> and that's something totally new for me.</p>

<p>Since I didn't notice in any of the answers, that the double-star is not something JS related, question arose.</p>

<p><strong>What is the double-star <code>**</code> used for in JavaScript?</strong></p>
