     * Merges JavaScript objects recursively without altering the objects merged.
     * @author <a href="mailto:matthewkastor@gmail.com">Matthew Kastor</a>
     * @param [opts] An options object created by
     *  objectMerge.createOptions. Options must be specified as the first argument
     *  and must be an object created with createOptions or else the object will
     *  not be recognized as an options object and will be merged instead.
     * @param shadows [[shadows]...] One or more objects to merge. Each
     *  argument given will be treated as an object to merge. Each object
     *  overwrites the previous objects descendant properties if the property name
     *  matches. If objects properties are objects they will be merged recursively
     *  as well.
     * @returns Returns a single merged object composed from clones of the
     *  input objects.
     * @example
     *  var objectMerge = require('object-merge');
     *  var x = {
