I didn't know MooTools was still being maintained tbh. It's most famous as the library that almost broke the web due to its use of monkey patching. To be fair, newer versions of the library don't monkey patch in quite such a dangerous way (the compatibility issues were caused by conditional monkey patching in old versions), but it looks like they still monkey patch using string properties, which can never truly be done safely.
