These are helper methods that are added to the global object, the main reason is that they can handle null values,
where the normal prototypes are not able to detect that (in a controlled way)
**existy** value
confirms that a ```value``` exists (i.e. is not null or undefined)
global.existy = (value)->
value?
global.not_Null = global.existy
**is_Number**
returns true if ```value``` is an number or not NaN
global.is_Number = (value)->
(typeof value is 'number') and value.is_Number()
**is_Null**
returns true if ```value``` is null
global.is_Null = (value)->
value is null
**file_Exists** file
Returns true if ```file``` exists
global.file_Exists = (file)->
if not_Null(file)
file.file_Exists()
else
false
**using** target,callback
simulates a 'using' or 'with' language feaure where the this object (inside callback)
is changed to ```value```
global.using = (target,callback)->
callback.apply(target)
**truthly** value
Returns true if ```value``` exists and is not false
global.truthly = (value)->
value? and value != false
**log** message
Simple wrapper for console.log
global.log = console.log
