title: Javascript 'new' Keyword
body: <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>
