JavaScript function prototype debouncer v3.0 - debounces functions that are prone to repetitive calling (on events such as mousewheel, orientationchange, resize, etc)
/**
*
*
* DEPRECATED, SEE NEW VERSION AT https://gist.github.com/c-kick/d359fce36257cf4c9fb5ea5f2c0033b6
*
*
* JavaScript function prototype debouncer 3.0 - hnldesign.nl
* Based on code by Paul Irish and the original debouncing function from John Hann
* http://unscriptable.com/index.php/2009/03/20/debouncing-javascript-methods/
* Register deBouncer as a function prototype.
*
* Usage:
*
* original: window.addEventListener('onorientationchange', myFunction, false);
* debounced: window.addEventListener('onorientationchange', myFunction.deBounce(100, false, false), false);
*
* or
*
* orginal: myFunction(arguments);
* debounced: myFunction.deBounce(100, true, true)(arguments);
*
* @memberOf(Object)
* @name deBounce
* @property
*
* @param {int} threshold - Time in ms to wait for repeated calls.
*
* @param {boolean} execFirst
* True: Function is executed, subsequent calls are stopped during threshold.
* False: calls are stopped during threshold, when it passes, function is called.
*
* @param {boolean} execAfterThreshold
* True: continue executing immediately after the threshold has passed, while the function is still being called.
* False: threshold serves as 'cool down' period; only if function calls have ended, and threshold passes, function can be called again.
*
* @returns {function} - The debounced function
