wait stopping typing convert from Function.Prototype to jQuery

Question

I have a wait function in Prototype with which I can delay the execution of a function around time. Sample:

var doSomting = function(arg 1, arg2, ...){
   ...
}.wait(500);

The wait - Functions Code in Prototype is:

Function.prototype.wait = function(time){
	var fn = this;
	var timeout = null;
	return function(){
		var inst = this;
		var args = arguments;
		$clear(timeout);
		timeout = window.setTimeout( function(){
			var ret = fn.apply(inst,args);
 		}, time);
	};
};

I would like to have the same Methode waitSpecial(time) in jQuery (wait is taken in jQuery, so waitSpecial())

I cannot convert the function. It is very helpful for me to convert.

Answer 1

Function.prototype.wait = function(time){
	var fn = this;
	var timeout = null;
	return function(){
		var inst = this;
		var args = arguments;
		clearTimeout(timeout);
		timeout = window.setTimeout( function(){
			var ret = fn.apply(inst,args);
 		}, time);
	};
};

It works with jQuery fine
