-====== LibEcho.Util ======
-Miscellaneous internal utility functions that don't seem to fit anywhere else.  You probably won't ever need to directly use any of these, except maybe String.capitalize().
-===== Array Prototypes =====
-==== Array.prototype.commaList() ====
-Assuming that it is an array of strings, returns a proper serial-comma-separated description of the list including "and", or "nothing" if the list is empty.
-<code>
-// Returns "a two-dollar pistol, a Stetson hat, and a shotgun":
-[ "a two-dollar pistol", "a Stetson hat", "a shotgun" ].commaList()
-// Returns "a two-dollar pistol and a Stetson hat":
-[ "a two-dollar pistol", "a Stetson hat" ].commaList()
-// Returns "a two-dollar pistol":
-[ "a two-dollar pistol" ].commaList()
-// Returns "nothing":
-[].commaList()
-</code>
-==== Array.prototype.aList ====
-Assuming an array of [[persistence|PersistentObjects]] (or subclasses thereof), returns a serial-comma-separated description like .commaList(), but using those objects' .aName fields.
-<code>
-// Assuming pistol, hat, and shotgun are all valid PersistentObjects,
-//  returns "a two-dollar pistol, a Stetson hat, and a shotgun":
-[ pistol, hat, shotgun ].aList()
-</code>
-==== Array.prototype.theList ====
-Assuming an array of [[persistence|PersistentObjects]] (or subclasses thereof), returns a serial-comma-separated description like .commaList(), but using those objects' .theName fields.
-<code>
-// Assuming pistol, hat, and shotgun are all valid PersistentObjects,
-//  returns "the two-dollar pistol, the Stetson hat, and the shotgun":
-[ pistol, hat, shotgun ].theList()
-</code>
-===== String Prototypes =====
-==== String.prototype.capitalize() ====
-Returns the string with the first character capitalized.
-FIXME: This doesn't work if the first character is a quotation mark or other punctuation, or a number. Does it need to?
-===== SmutBook.Util.log( logName, message ) =====
-If Sugarcube has been put in debug mode (Config.debug=true), this function logs the given logName and message to the JS console.  If Sugarcube is not in debug mode, it does nothing.
-===== LibEcho.Util.MessageQueue =====
-A global message queue system to allow the story author to more easily hook into the Inventory and Apparel UIs and display various flavor texts and do other processing while a player is fooling around with Inventory and Apparel.
-FIXME Not fully implemented.  May change as we rejigger the UIs.  Maybe ought to move from here to the UI classes.
-==== MessageQueue.push( message ) ====
-If the queue is enabled, push a message into the top of the queue.\\
-**Returns:** void
-==== MessageQueue.shift() ====
-If the queue is enabled, shift a message off the bottom of the queue.\\
-**Returns:** the message being shifted off, or null if the queue is disabled.
-==== MessageQueue.dump( separator="\n" ) ====
-Dump the whole queue as a string, using the given separator.  Clear the queue.\\
-**Returns:** the whole queue as a single string
-==== MessageQueue.on( queue=[] ) ====
-If the queue is already enabled, to nothing.  Otherwise enable the queue, filling it with the given array of strings.
-**Returns:** void
-==== MessageQueue.off() ====
-Disable and clear the queue.
-**Returns:** the contents of the queue before it was cleared.
