Chrome/Gmail attack received 11/03/2016. Not sure if the Chrome meta refresh + data:text,html technique is novel.

fake

arbitrarily deep nested loops over hierarchical data
// takes a collection, a variable length list of fns, and a function
//
// for each item in the collection the list of fns that returns a value or values

// it won't blow the stack.

// e.g

// util.nestedLoops([ { items: [{ name: "bob"}, {name: "sue"}] } ], _.property("items"), _.property("name"), function(group, item, name) {
