/**
 * This class is the equivalent to the jQuery.browser object in gQuery.
 * 
 * The implementation is performed by the {@link BrowserGenerator}
 * 
 * It can be used as a way of deferred-binding without modifying .gwt.xml files,
 * taking advantage of compiler optimizations which will or will not include the
 * code in a 'if' statement checking these conditions.
 * 
 * Example:
 * <pre>
      if (GQuery.browser.ie6) {
        // this code will be removed on non-ie6 permutations
        Window.alert("IE6");
      } else if (!browser.webkit) {
        // this code will be only in the webkit permutation
        Window.alert("NOT WEBKIT");
      }
 * </pre>
