/**
 * Slinky allows you to go back and forth between "long" and shortened URLs 
 * using popular URL shortening services.
 * 
 * Slinky assumes you have cURL installed and working, and requires the JSON
 * extension installed if you're working with a service that uses JSON.
 * 
 * Slinky will ONLY work with PHP5+
 * 
 * It supports some of the more popular services, with easy extensibility for
 * adding your own relatively easily. It defaults to using TinyURL
 * for shortening URLs. If you want to use some of the other services, you need
 * to set some configuration options before actually shortening/lengthening
 * URLs. I'd strongly suggest that you cache results using memcached, a local
 * DB or whatever to avoid having to hit APIs etc every time you encounter a
 * URL.
 * 
 * Slinky supports shortening, and auto-detection (for lengthening URLs) 
 * using these services:
 * - Bit.ly
 * - Tr.im
 * - TinyURL
 * - Is.Gd
 * - Fon.gs
 * - Micurl.com
 * - ur1.ca
 * - Ptiturl
 * - Tighturl
 * - 2tu.us
 * - Snipr / Snipurl / Snurl.com / Sn.im
 * 
 * 
 * To use Slinky:
 * 
 * $slinky = new Slinky( 'http://dentedreality.com.au/' );
 * - Creates a new Slinky instance, will default to using TinyURL for ->short();
 * 
 * $slinky = new Slinky( 'http://dentedreality.com.au', new Slinky_Bitly() );
 * - Creates new Slinky, forces use of Bit.ly for ->short();
 * 
 * $slinky = new Slinky( 'http://dentedreality.com.au/' );
 * echo $slinky->short();
 * - echos the short version of http://dentedreality.com.au/ (default to TinyURL)
 * 
 * $slinky = new Slinky( 'http://tinyurl.com/jw5sh' );
 * echo $slinky->long();
 * - echos out the long version of http://tinyurl.com/jw5sh (which should be http://dentedreality.com.au/)
 * 
 * $slinky = new Slinky( 'http://dentedreality.com.au/' );
 * echo $slinky->long();
 * - Attempts to lengthen the URL, but will not auto-detect which service it is
 *   so it will just output the original URL. Useful for always attempting to
 *   lengthen any URL you come across (fails gracefully)
 * 
 * $slinky = new Slinky( 'http://dentedreality.com.au/' );
 * $slinky->set_cascade( array( new Slinky_Trim(), new Slinky_IsGd(), new Slinky_TinyURL() ) );
 * echo $slinky->short();
 * - Uses the powerful cascade mode to make sure that we get a short URL from 
 *   Tr.im, Is.Gd or TinyURL (in that order).
 * 
 * See specific service class definitions below for examples of how to use them,
 * as some services allow (or require) additional properties before you can use
 * them (for authentication etc).
 * 
 * To use a different service with Slinky, just create your own class and
 * extend Slinky_Service(). Make sure you implement url_is_short(), url_is_long(),
 * make_short() and make_long(). If you need to GET or POST a URL, you can use
 * ->url_get() and ->url_post(), which your class will have inherited.
