How to make Firebug methods chainable.

I just wrote this piece of code (mainly for fun) which let you use Firebug methods with chained calls.

	var makeChainable = function(obj, method) {
	var m = Object.prototype.toString.call(method) === "[object Array]" ? method: [method],
	i = m.length;

	while (i--) {
	obj[m[i]] = function(o) {
	return function() {
	o.apply(this, arguments);
	return this;
	}
	} (obj[m[i]]);
	};
	}

Usage:

	//Do this only one time !
	makeChainable(console, 'assert clear count debug dir dirxml error exception group groupCollapsed groupEnd info log profile profileEnd time timeEnd warn'.split(' '));

	//Usage:
	console
	.profile()
	.time('testTime')
	.group('GroupTest')
	.debug('test', 1, 2, 3)
	.warn('warniiing!')
	.log('loo', true)
	.dir([1, 2, 3, 4])
	.info('plop')
	.groupEnd('GroupTest')
	.timeEnd('testTime')
	.profileEnd();

Ps: If you want to create chainable methods, just add "return this;" at each methods end. makeChainable is only usefull with already created objects.
