/**
Augments the _receiver_ with prototype properties from the _supplier_. The
receiver may be a constructor function or an object. The supplier must be a
constructor function.

If the _receiver_ is an object, then the _supplier_ constructor will be called
immediately after _receiver_ is augmented, with _receiver_ as the `this` object.

If the _receiver_ is a constructor function, then all prototype methods of
_supplier_ that are copied to _receiver_ will be sequestered, and the
_supplier_ constructor will not be called immediately. The first time any
sequestered method is called on the _receiver_'s prototype, all sequestered
methods will be immediately copied to the _receiver_'s prototype, the
_supplier_'s constructor will be executed, and finally the newly unsequestered
method that was called will be executed.

This sequestering logic sounds like a bunch of complicated voodoo, but it makes
it cheap to perform frequent augmentation by ensuring that suppliers'
constructors are only called if a supplied method is actually used. If none of
the supplied methods is ever used, then there's no need to take the performance
hit of calling the _supplier_'s constructor.

@method augment
@param {Function|Object} receiver Object or function to be augmented.
@param {Function} supplier Function that supplies the prototype properties with
  which to augment the _receiver_.
@param {Boolean} [overwrite=false] If `true`, properties already on the receiver
  will be overwritten if found on the supplier's prototype.
@param {String[]} [whitelist] An array of property names. If specified,
  only the whitelisted prototype properties will be applied to the receiver, and
  all others will be ignored.
@param {Array|any} [args] Argument or array of arguments to pass to the
  supplier's constructor when initializing.
@return {Function} Augmented object.

 * should be used only when a deep clone down to leaf level properties
 * is explicitly required.
 *
 * In many cases (for example, when trying to isolate objects used as 
 * hashes for configuration properties), a shallow copy, using Y.merge is

 * isolated from the original without going all the way to leaf properties.

 * items from the source.  If false, they will.  In this case, the
 * original is initially protected, but the clone is not completely
 * immune from changes to the source object prototype.  Also, cloned
 * prototype items that are deleted from the clone will result
 * in the value of the source prototype being exposed.  If operating
 * on a non-safe clone, items should be nulled out rather than deleted.
 * @param {function} f optional function to apply to each item in a
 * collection; it will be executed prior to applying the value to
 * the new object.  Return false to prevent the copy.
 * @param {object} c optional execution context for f.
 * @param {object} owner Owner object passed when clone is iterating
