				This is a loop unroll was designed specifically for Firefox;
				it would seem that static index access on an Arguments
				object is a LOT faster than doing dynamic index access.
				Therefore, we create a buffer string and take advantage
				of JS's switch fallthrough.  The peformance of this method
				comes very close to straight up string concatenation (+=).

				If the arguments object length is greater than 9, we fall
				back to standard dynamic access.

				This optimization seems to have no real effect on either
				Safari or Opera, so we just use it for all.

				It turns out also that this loop unroll can increase performance
				significantly with Internet Explorer, particularly when
				as many arguments are provided as possible.

				Loop unroll per suggestion from Kris Zyp, implemented by
				Tom Trenka.

				Note: added empty string to force a string cast if needed.
