    \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 loadFile
    \code
    loadFile(filePath: string): any
    \endcode
    Loads a JavaScript file and returns an object that contains the evaluated context of this file.
    This function is only available in JavaScript files.
    For example:
    \code
    var MyFunctions = loadFile("myfunctions.js");
    MyFunctions.doSomething();
    \endcode

    \section2 loadExtension
    \code
    loadExtension(extensionName: string): any
    \endcode
    Loads a \QBS extension and returns an object that contains all functions of that extension.
    This function is only available in JavaScript files.
    For example:
    \code
    var FileInfo = loadExtension("qbs.FileInfo");
    var fileName = FileInfo.fileName(filePath);
    \endcode


    \section1 Extensions to JavaScript Built-in Objects

    \section2 Array.contains
    \code
    Array.contains(e: any): boolean
    \endcode
    Returns \c{true} if the array contains the element \c{e}. Returns \c{false} otherwise.

    \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.

    \section2 String.contains
    \code
    String.contains(s: string): boolean
    \endcode
    Returns \c{true} if the string contains the substring \c{s}. Returns \c{false} otherwise.

    \section2 startsWith
    \code
    String.startsWith(s: string): boolean
    \endcode
    Returns \c{true} if the string starts with the substring \c{s}. Returns \c{false} otherwise.

    \section2 endsWith
    \code
    String.endsWith(s: string): boolean
    \endcode
    Returns \c{true} if the string ends with the substring \c{s}. Returns \c{false} otherwise.


    \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.
