In Node version <1 `process.nextTick()` accepts a callback function only.
In later versions you can supply additional arguments to pass when invoking the callback.
This is a polyfill for early versions.

## Usage

```js

// In Node >=1 the built-in `nextTick()` method is exposed, 
// so this is just a re-assignment that has no effect.
process.nextTick = require('process.nexttick')

// Now you can safely pass additional arguments 
// to `nextTick()` regardless of Node version.
process.nextTick(function (arg) {
    arg === 42 // true
}, 42)

```

**Note**: This module itself does not overwrite `process.nextTick()`.

## Installation

With npm:

    npm install process.nexttick
