closure javascript syntax for vim

here is the javascript.vim file that I'm using. I found that I was missing the highlighting on methods that doesn't happen when you write in the form:

myApp.prototype.method = function() {}

so I made additions to highlight and also popped in inheritDoc as a recognised doctype while I was at it. Here is the javascript.vim that should go in ~/.vim/syntax/ or if you're using janus ~/.vim/janus/vim/langs/javascript/syntax
