"""Common globals.
The Common module provides some commmon globals to all modules/classes in
WebKit. It's intended for internal use, not for modules outside the WebKit.
Typically usage is::
from Common import *
The globals provided are:
* the modules: `os`, `sys`, `time`
* the class `StringIO`
* the root class `Object`
* the names `True` and `False` for older Python versions
* the package `WebUtils`
* the exception class `AbstractError` that methods of abstract classes can raise
* the singleton `NoDefault` for initializing default arguments
* the method `asclocaltime` for building time stamps in log files
