[FALCONJX] added support for 'as', 'int', 'is', 'trace' and 'uint' to
FlexJS framework and compiler
Hi,
I just committed changes to FalconJx and FlexJS that should allow for
the use of 'is' for type checking. I also added serveral other
improvements to the library and compiler, mostly with regard to the
presence and handling of native AS functions that aren't available in
vanilla JS.

Ok, all should be fine now. I've committed an example that should show
the proper functioning of the code with some of the most common use
cases: LanguageTests.

Note: when trying to build a project using the new "Language" class
yesterday, I noticed that the implementation is not complete. Please
hold off on implementing it in any components until I check in some
changes to FalconJx and the framework.

The next "big experiment" is trying to cross-compile an app that uses one
of the app frameworks like Swiz, Parsely, etc. Someone pointed out that
they use metadata and and I assume they must use describetype to fetch
said metadata.
My hope is to avoid use of describetype in the FlexJS classes we write or
consider a lighter weight implementation for the few things we might need
(I recently checked in a lightweight getQualifiedClassName for CSS
TypeSelector support in JS), but I think we need to see if we can support
the existing app frameworks.
I'm not sure we'd need full describetype support, probably just enough to
get the metadata.

It certainly provides an extra tool towards that goal, but depending
on the requirements for both features - can you elaborate your ideas a
bit - there might be other things that we can do, e.g. Closure
provides some introspection tools as well.

Awesome! Thanks for doing it.
Will we end up doing metadata and describetype following this pattern?
