Class Summary
> `class` | DynamicVariable [T](init : T)`extends` AnyRef DynamicVariables provide a binding mechanism where the current value is found through dynamic scope, but where access to the variable itself is resolved through static scope. The current value can be retrieved with the `value` method. New values should be pushed using the `withValue` method. Values pushed via `withValue` only stay valid while the `withValue`'s second argument, a parameterless closure, executes. When the second argument finishes, the variable reverts to the previous value. Usage of `withValue` looks like this:
>       someDynamicVariable.withValue(newValue) {
>         // ... code called in here that calls value ...
>         // ... will be given back the newValue ...
>       }
Each thread gets its own stack of bindings. When a new thread is created, the fluid gets a copy of the stack of bindings from the parent thread, and from then on the bindings for the new thread are independent of those for the original thread.
`class` | Fluid [T](init : T)`extends` DynamicVariable[T] This is the same as DynamicVariable. The name "fluid" is confusing, and perhaps not even accurate.
`class` | RichSorting [K <: Ordered[K]](s : Seq[K])`extends` AnyRef A `RichSorting` object is generally created implicitly through the use of the `sort` function on an arbitrary sequence, where the items are ordered.

Object Summary
`object` | Properties `extends` AnyRef A utility to load the library properties from a Java properties file included in the jar.
`object` | Sorting `extends` AnyRef The Sorting object provides functions that can sort various kinds of objects. You can provide a comparison function, or you can request a sort of items that are viewable as `Ordered`. Some sorts that operate directly on a subset of value types are also provided. These implementations are derived from those in the Sun JDK. Note that stability doesn't matter for value types, so use the quickSort variants for those. `stableSort` is intended to be used with objects when the prior ordering should be preserved, where possible.
