	EXAMPLES:

		Copy:

			Performs a deep copy of the given table.

			local tbl = {"a", "b", "c"}
			local tblCopy = TableUtil.Copy(tbl)


		Sync:

			Synchronizes a table to a template table. If the table does not have an
			item that exists within the template, it gets added. If the table has
			something that the template does not have, it gets removed.

			local tbl1 = {kills = 0; deaths = 0; points = 0}
			local tbl2 = {points = 0}
			TableUtil.Sync(tbl2, tbl1)  -- In words: "Synchronize table2 to table1"
			print(tbl2.deaths)


		Print:

			Prints out the table to the output in an easy-to-read format. Good for
			debugging tables. If deep printing, avoid cyclical references.

			local tbl = {a = 32; b = 64; c = 128; d = {x = 0; y = 1; z = 2}}
			TableUtil.Print(tbl, "My Table", true)


		FastRemove:

			Removes an item from an array at a given index. Only use this if you do
			NOT care about the order of your array. This works by simply popping the
			last item in the array and overwriting the given index with the last
			item. This is O(1), compared to table.remove's O(n) speed.

			local tbl = {"hello", "there", "this", "is", "a", "test"}
			TableUtil.FastRemove(tbl, 2)   -- Remove "there" in the array
			print(table.concat(tbl, " "))  -- > hello this is a test


		FastRemoveFirstValue:

			Calls FastRemove on the first index that holds the given value.

			local tbl = {"abc", "hello", "hi", "goodbye", "hello", "hey"}
			local removed, atIndex = TableUtil.FastRemoveFirstValue(tbl, "hello")
			if (removed) then
				print("Removed at index " .. atIndex)
				print(table.concat(tbl, " "))  -- > abc hi goodbye hello hey
			else
				print("Did not find value")
			end

		
		Map:

			This allows you to construct a new table by calling the given function
			on each item in the table.

			local peopleData = {
				{firstName = "Bob"; lastName = "Smith"};
				{firstName = "John"; lastName = "Doe"};
				{firstName = "Jane"; lastName = "Doe"};
			}

			local people = TableUtil.Map(peopleData, function(item)
				return {Name = item.firstName .. " " .. item.lastName}
			end)

			-- 'people' is now an array that looks like: { {Name = "Bob Smith"}; ... }


		Filter:

			This allows you to create a table based on the given table and a filter
			function. If the function returns 'true', the item remains in the new
			table; if the function returns 'false', the item is discluded from the
			new table.

			local people = {
				{Name = "Bob Smith"; Age = 42};
				{Name = "John Doe"; Age = 34};
				{Name = "Jane Doe"; Age = 37};
			}

			local peopleUnderForty = TableUtil.Filter(people, function(item)
				return item.Age < 40
			end)


		Reduce:

			This allows you to reduce an array to a single value. Useful for quickly
			summing up an array.

			local tbl = {40, 32, 9, 5, 44}
			local tblSum = TableUtil.Reduce(tbl, function(accumulator, value)
				return accumulator + value
			end)
			print(tblSum)  -- > 130


		IndexOf:

			Returns the index of the given item in the table. If not found, this
			will return nil.

			local tbl = {"Hello", 32, true, "abc"}
			local abcIndex = TableUtil.IndexOf("abc")     -- > 4
			local helloIndex = TableUtil.IndexOf("Hello") -- > 1
			local numberIndex = TableUtil.IndexOf(64)     -- > nil


		Reverse:

			Creates a reversed version of the array. Note: This is a shallow
			copy, so existing references will remain within the new table.

			local tbl = {2, 4, 6, 8}
			local rblReversed = TableUtil.Reverse(tbl)  -- > {8, 6, 4, 2}


		Shuffle:

			Shuffles (i.e. randomizes) an array. This uses the Fisher-Yates algorithm.

			local tbl = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
			TableUtil.Shuffle(tbl)
			print(table.concat(tbl, ", "))  -- e.g. > 3, 6, 9, 2, 8, 4, 1, 7, 5
