/**
Augments the _receiver_ with prototype properties from the _supplier_. The
receiver may be a constructor function or an object. The supplier must be a
constructor function.

If the _receiver_ is an object, then the _supplier_ constructor will be called
immediately after _receiver_ is augmented, with _receiver_ as the `this` object.

If the _receiver_ is a constructor function, then all prototype methods of
_supplier_ that are copied to _receiver_ will be sequestered, and the
_supplier_ constructor will not be called immediately. The first time any
sequestered method is called on the _receiver_'s prototype, all sequestered
methods will be immediately copied to the _receiver_'s prototype, the
_supplier_'s constructor will be executed, and finally the newly unsequestered
method that was called will be executed.

This sequestering logic sounds like a bunch of complicated voodoo, but it makes
it cheap to perform frequent augmentation by ensuring that suppliers'
constructors are only called if a supplied method is actually used. If none of
the supplied methods is ever used, then there's no need to take the performance
hit of calling the _supplier_'s constructor.

@method augment
@param {Function|Object} receiver Object or function to be augmented.
@param {Function} supplier Function that supplies the prototype properties with
  which to augment the _receiver_.
@param {Boolean} [overwrite=false] If `true`, properties already on the receiver
  will be overwritten if found on the supplier's prototype.
@param {String[]} [whitelist] An array of property names. If specified,
  only the whitelisted prototype properties will be applied to the receiver, and
  all others will be ignored.
@param {Array|any} [args] Argument or array of arguments to pass to the
  supplier's constructor when initializing.
@return {Function} Augmented object.

/**
Deep object/array copy. Function clones are actually wrappers around the
original function. Array-like objects are treated as arrays. Primitives are
returned untouched. Optionally, a function can be provided to handle other data
types, filter keys, validate values, etc.

**Note:** Cloning a non-trivial object is a reasonably heavy operation, due to
the need to recursively iterate down non-primitive properties. Clone should be
used only when a deep clone down to leaf level properties is explicitly
required. This method will also

In many cases (for example, when trying to isolate objects used as hashes for
configuration properties), a shallow copy, using `Y.merge()` is normally
sufficient. If more than one level of isolation is required, `Y.merge()` can be
used selectively at each level which needs to be isolated from the original
without going all the way to leaf properties.

@method clone
@param {object} o what to clone.
@param {boolean} safe if true, objects will not have prototype items from the
    source. If false, they will. In this case, the original is initially
    protected, but the clone is not completely immune from changes to the source
    object prototype. Also, cloned prototype items that are deleted from the
    clone will result in the value of the source prototype being exposed. If
    operating on a non-safe clone, items should be nulled out rather than
    deleted.
@param {function} f optional function to apply to each item in a collection; it
    will be executed prior to applying the value to the new object.
    Return false to prevent the copy.
@param {object} c optional execution context for f.
@param {object} owner Owner object passed when clone is iterating an object.
    Used to set up context for cloned functions.
@param {object} cloned hash of previously cloned objects to avoid multiple
    clones.
