shelljs/src/toEnd.js
Nate Fischer 6739aed69e refactor(string): modify string protoype, but only for shelljs/global
`require('shelljs/global')` extends String.prototype to have the `.to()` and
`.toEnd()` methods again. This also adds tests for the global require.

//@ Examples:
//@
//@ ```javascript
//@ cat('input.txt').toEnd('output.txt');
//@ ```
//@
//@ Analogous to the redirect-and-append operator `>>` in Unix, but works with
//@ ShellStrings (such as those returned by `cat`, `grep`, etc).
