    \title General Services
    \brief Provides various operations.

    These are operations that do not fit into any of the other categories.
    They are automatically available in any \QBS project file or JavaScript file.

    \section1 Available Operations

    \section2 require
    \code
    require(identifier: string): any
    \endcode
    Loads an extension and returns an object representing the extension.
    If \a identifier is a relative or absolute file path, this function will load a JavaScript file
    and return an object containing the evaluated context of that file. Otherwise, loads a \QBS
    extension named \a identifier and returns an object that contains the extension's context.
    This function is only available in JavaScript files and is designed to behave similarly to the
    CommonJS/RequireJS/Node.js module resolution systems.
    \code
    var MyFunctions = require("./myfunctions.js");
    MyFunctions.doSomething();
    var FileInfo = require("qbs.FileInfo");
    var fileName = FileInfo.fileName(filePath);
    \endcode


    \section1 Extensions to JavaScript Built-in Objects

    \section2 Array.containsAll
    \code
    Array.containsAll(other: any[]): boolean
    \endcode
    Returns \c{true} if the array contains every element in the \c{other} array.
    Returns \c{false} otherwise.

    \section2 Array.containsAny
    \code
    Array.containsAny(other: any[]): boolean
    \endcode
    Returns \c{true} if the array contains some element(s) in the \c{other} array.
    Returns \c{false} otherwise.

    \section2 Array.uniqueConcat
    \code
    Array.uniqueConcat(other: any[]): any[]
    \endcode
    Returns a copy of this array joined with the array \c{other}.
    Duplicates that would originate from the concatenation are removed.
    The order of elements is preserved.


    \section1 Console API

    \QBS provides a subset of the non-standard Console API available in most ECMAScript runtimes.

    The output of each of these functions will only be displayed if the logging level is at least
    the level which the function outputs at. Logging levels from lowest to highest are:
    'error', 'warning', 'info', 'debug', and 'trace'. The default is 'info'.

    \warning The contents of this section are subject to change in order to align with future
    \l{https://www.w3.org/2011/08/browser-testing-charter.html}{standardization}
    \l{https://github.com/DeveloperToolsWG/console-object/blob/master/api.md}{processes}.

    \section2 console.debug
    \code
    console.debug(s: string): void
    \endcode
    This method is an alias for \c{console.log()}.

    \section2 console.error
    \code
    console.error(s: string): void
    \endcode
    Logs an \c{error} level message.
    Outputs to stderr when the logger output is a terminal.
    The string will be prefixed with \c{"ERROR: "} and colored red when the logger output is a
    color-capable terminal.

    \section2 console.info
    \code
    console.info(s: string): void
    \endcode
    Logs an \c{info} level message.
    Outputs to stdout when the logger output is a terminal.

    \section2 console.log
    \code
    console.log(s: string): void
    \endcode
    Logs a \c{debug} level message.
    Outputs to stderr when the logger output is a terminal.

    \section2 console.warn
    \code
    console.warn(s: string): void
    \endcode
    Logs a \c{warning} level message.
    Outputs to stderr when the logger output is a terminal.
    The string will be prefixed with \c{"WARNING: "} and colored yellow when the logger output is a
    color-capable terminal.
