  // %        note 1: This function deviates from PHP in returning a copy of the array instead
  // %        note 1: of acting by reference and returning true; this was necessary because
  // %        note 1: IE does not allow deleting and re-adding of properties without caching
  // %        note 1: of property position; you can set the ini of "phpjs.strictForIn" to true to
  // %        note 1: get the PHP behavior, but use this only if you are in an environment
  // %        note 1: such as Firefox extensions where for-in iteration order is fixed and true
  // %        note 1: property deletion is supported. Note that we intend to implement the PHP
  // %        note 1: behavior by default if IE ever does allow it; only gives shallow copy since
  // %        note 1: is by reference in PHP anyways
  // *     example 1: ini_set('phpjs.strictForIn', true);
  // *     example 1: shuffle({5:'a', 2:'3', 3:'c', 4:5, 'q':5});
  // *     returns 1: {5:'a', 4:5, 'q':5, 3:'c', 2:'3'}
