Refactor:
* ve.indexOf
Renamed from ve.inArray.
This was named after the jQuery method which in turn has a longer
story about why it is so unfortunately named. It doesn't return
a boolean, but an index. Hence the native method being called
indexOf as well.
* ve.bind
Renamed from ve.proxy.
I considered making it use Function.prototype.bind if available.
As it performs better than $.proxy (which doesn't use to the native
bind if available). However since bind needs to be bound itself in
order to use it detached, it turns out with the "call()" and
"bind()" it is slower than the $.proxy shim:
http://jsperf.com/function-bind-shim-perf
It would've been like this:
ve.bind = Function.prototype.bind ?
Function.prototype.call.bind( Function.prototype.bind ) :
$.proxy;
But instead sticking to ve.bind = $.proxy;
* ve.extendObject
Documented the parts of jQuery.extend that we use. This makes it
easier to replace in the future.
Documentation:
* Added function documentation blocks.
* Added annotations to functions that we will be able to remove
in the future in favour of the native methods.
With "@until + when/how".
In this case "ES5". Meaning, whenever we drop support for browsers
that don't support ES5. Although in the developer community ES5 is
still fairly fresh, browsers have been aware for it long enough
that thee moment we're able to drop it may be sooner than we think.
The only blocker so far is IE8. The rest of the browsers have had
it long enough that the traffic we need to support of non-IE
supports it.
Misc.:
* Removed 'node: true' from .jshintrc since Parsoid is no longer in
this repo and thus no more nodejs files.
- This unraveled two lint errors: Usage of 'module' and 'console'.
(both were considered 'safe globals' due to nodejs, but not in
browser code).
* Replaced usage (before renaming):
- $.inArray -> ve.inArray
- Function.prototype.bind -> ve.proxy
- Array.isArray -> ve.isArray
- [].indexOf -> ve.inArray
- $.fn.bind/live/delegate/unbind/die/delegate -> $.fn.on/off

Stack traces, line numbers, etc. All the approaches I've seen are bad hacks. This is the best way to go.

Throwing strings is bad because it doesn't include a lot of important
information that an error object does, such as a stack trace or where
the error was actually thrown from.
ve.Error inherits directly from Error. In the future we may create
more specific subclasses and/or do custom stuff.
Some interesting reading on the subject:

Also:
* Removed a lot of dead code in Surface that was used in the now dead and gone sandbox.
* Changed from throwing an exception when calling getBalancedData on a range that produces no results from selectNodes to just returning []

This license change is aimed at maximizing the reusability of this code
in other projects. VisualEditor is more than just an awesome editor for
MediaWiki, it's the new editor for the entire internet.
Added license and author files, plus mentions of the license to all
VisualEditor PHP, JavaScript and CSS files. Parser files have not been
modified but are effectively re-licensed since there's no overriding
license information. 3rd party libraries are not changed, but are all
already MIT licensed.
