    IE9 console.log patch

Very handy console.log method does exist in IE9, but for some obscure reason it's not a function. No, really
>> typeof console.log
   "object"

So it cannot be .call'ed or .apply'ed or be set as callback to String.prototype.replace. That's unfair.
This function wraps native console.log method into a function so it becomes a function again. It does nothing with normal browsers and older ones. It takes no arguments and returns nothing.
