Update for iOS 9 and Safari 9 compatibility

[ltullman]

Add workaround for isArray check failing due to Arguments not being recognized as an Array in Safari 9.

Hi Ltullman:

Thanks for your work!

I have incorporated this change, as well as regression tests (!) and jslint fixes in this branch: https://github.com/mmikowski/taffydb. Please check it out :)

I added rudimentary regression tests, but they are easy to expand and port to run headless on node.js (see taffy-test.html)

We should look at forking this project if Ian cannot be found. I'm willing to guide the project and even asked him if I could take over, but haven't heard back from him.

It would be sad to fork, but even worse if we couldn't keep using this software. A few thoughts if we went that way:

• We would need a new name that is sticky and evokes memories of taffydb
• We should see if we could get Ian to point others to the new project, or (again, better yet) just transfer TaffyDB to new management
• We definitely want to compare to existing projects to see if something better or redundant has come along

Cheers, Mike

Hi Mike, You're welcome and I agree about this project needing a maintainer again. I sent Ian a tweet so hoping he replies.

Same here. Thanks for your help. It fixed our iOS9 bug for our VP and CEO. Very helpful!

Apparently I'm facing a similar problem, when inserting entries to a DB it does not persist. Trying to retrieve gives me an empty array or simply db().count() = 0.

@ltullman Was your fix intended to fix this issue?

[ltullman]

@LucasLazaro Yeah, it should solve that.

Are you guys willing to merge these changes into the base branch?

[mmikowski]

This looks good to me. I tested here. iOS9 now works, and regression tests pass.
