TypeScript static interface binding

[MrMatthewLayton]

I would like to know if there are any plans to refactor lib.d.ts (and subsequent definitions) to declare interfaces for static implementations, thus allowing custom static bindings for existing Objects.

i.e.

interface _Object {
    is(value1: any, value2: any): boolean;
}

declare var Object: _Object;

instead of

declare var Object: {
    is(value1: any, value2: any): boolean;
}

We need to make the built-in objects more extensible by some mechanism or another. This is still under discussion.
