    @Deuce @rswindell @echicken thoughts? There's already existing Array polyfills, wanted to add a couple missing methods as well as some Object methods missing... Would like to followup with a couple bits on strings as well.

    I don't think we want your editor preferences in git.

    If you're gonna do a white-space clean-up, make that a separate commit/PR.

    Is anything actually using this library currently? Does it need these addition methods?

    In general, I'm not a fan of adding stuff "just because". It becomes a maintenance headache. Does someone actually need this stuff and have an immediate use for it (in Synchronet) or is just for completionism?

    If there's a need/use and it doesn't break anything else, I'm not opposed.

    I think I'm using exec/load/array.js for a few things in webv4. It's just a bunch of useful shorthand/convenience stuff that JS devs are accustomed to having available (and for that reason, it's nice to have it here).

    That said, I'll be using 'for' loops a lot more often now, when performance matters. Recent adventures in optimization have shown me that there's a lot of time to be saved that way - though it's not always worth worrying about.

    I literally changed the heading, not just a whitespace cleanup.

    The Array stuff is being used in a couple places currently... I added the missing methods and updated the heading.

    I also added missing Object polyfills... namely, I was wanting to use `Object.assign` but the others I use pretty regularly writing code.

    I can alternatively add `.vscode` to `.gitignore`, but figured it would be usefull in order to prevent auto-format issues for anyone else contributing using vs code.

    @echicken yeah, for loops are often faster, though I still prefer map/reduce syntax... if we had fat-arrow functions, it'd be much cleaner syntax wise.

    Several of the changes in this commit appear to be just white-space changes.

    This is not the preferred/used tab size in the Synchronet C/C++ source code. The stated preference is 4, though some still insist on using 8.

    kk... just opened a couple files, and it looked like it was using 2 spaces on then, will change to 4.

    @rswindell in the future, in the "changes" tab, you can click the gears, and uncheck the show whitespace changes.

    Re: "apparently necessary whitespace" I think you're missing the point.

    A merge request should address a single topic/problem domain. In this case, the topic is "Updated polyfills". That topic does not include unrelated white-space changes or your VSCode settings.

    I'm well aware of how to view or ignore whitespace changes. That's not the point. If you want to submit a whitespace clean-up merge request, it'd likely be accepted/merged, but not as an incidental part of some other change set.
