/**
 * Adds one object to another, nesting the child object into the parent.
 * this is to get around javascript's immutable handling of objects.
 * @param name {String} - The name of the property of the parent object, in which to nest the child object. <br />For example, if the name parameter is set to "pickles" then "parent.pickles" will return the child object.
 * @param child {Object} - The object that should be nested within the parent object.
 * @param [parent={}] {Object} - The parent object in which to nest the child object. If the parent object is not specified, then the child object is simple nested into an otherwise empty object, which is then returned.
 * @returns {Object} - A new object consisting of the parent (or an otherwise empty object) with the child object nested within it.

 * //sets myNewObject to a copy of originalObject, which now also contains the original (yet un-linked) version of itself as a child, under the property name "original"
