An ES spec-compliant Array.prototype.unshift shim/polyfill/replacement that works as far down as ES3.
This package implements the es-shim API interface. It works in an ES3-supported environment and complies with the spec.
Because Array.prototype.unshift depends on a receiver (the “this” value), the main export takes the array to operate on as the first argument.
