Extend _

To extend the _ when using libraries such as underscore or lodash, pass in rutil._() to the underscore mixin function. Rutil functions will not override underscore functions if they already exist, unless you pass rutil._(true)

_.mixin(rutil._()); // extend underscore

_.isValidEmail('[email protected]'); // use rutil function

Note that you can also use the _u global object instead of rutil.
