+all ECMAScript 5 methods that can be faithfully emulated with a legacy
+JavaScript engine.  @code{es5-sham.js} patches other ES5 methods as closely as
+possible.  Many of these shams are intended only to allow code to be written
+to ES5 without causing run-time errors in older engines.  In many cases, this
+means that these shams cause many ES5 methods to silently fail.")
