Setup

      var that = "that";
    }
    Obj.prototype.target = function(test) {
      return test;
    };
    
    function call(fn, cntx, arg){
       return fn.call(cntx, arg);
    }
    
    function callMany(fn, cntx /* ... */){
        switch(arguments.length){
           case 3:
             return fn.call(cntx, arguments[2]);
           case 4:
             return fn.call(cntx, arguments[2],arguments[3]);
           case 5:
             return fn.call(cntx, arguments[2],arguments[3],arguments[4]);
           case 6:
             return fn.call(cntx, 
                     arguments[2],
                     arguments[3],
                     arguments[4],
                     arguments[5]);
        }
    }
