	* Returns an object.
	*
	* ## Notes
	*
	* -   If provided `null` or `undefined`, the function returns an empty object.
	* -   If provided an existing object, the function returns the input value unchanged.
	* -   Otherwise, if provided any other value (e.g., a number, string, etc), the function will return an object of the corresponding type.
	*
	* @param value - input value
	* @returns object
	*
	* @example
	* var o = new ns.Object( null );
	* // returns {}
	*
	* @example
	* var o = new ns.Object( 5.0 );
	* // returns <Number>
	*
	* @example
	* var o = new ns.Object( 'beep' );
	* // returns <String>
	*
	* @example
	* var o1 = {};
	*
	* var o2 = new ns.Object( o1 );
	* // returns {}
	*
	* var bool = ( o1 === o2 );
	* // returns true
