jstips-xe: Extended expositions of selected JS Tips

First, hats off to the JS Tips team for putting together a useful collection of JavaScript tips that

will allow you to improve your code writing [in] less than 2 minutes

I'm an occasional tip editor, and ever so often, I run across a tip that cries out for a long explanation that can't fit in 2 minutes. This is a collection of those explanations, mostly for my own edification, but hopefully somewhat useful to you, dear reader.

Original Tip #	Extended Exposition
XX: DOM event listening made easy	Some do's and don'ts on monkeypatching
33: Create Range 0...(N-1) easily using one line	High Magic Solution 1 explained
18: Truncating the fast (but risky) way	"32 bits ought to be enough for anybody"

How Can I Help?

If you feel that a tip needs a better explanation, see if someone else has already asked over on JS Tips, and raise a new issue if necessary. I'll see if I can help with that, and if so, whether I'll:

• contribute an update PR to the tip over there, or
• write my own explanation here.

If you think these expositions are faulty or unclear, raise an issue. Better yet, submit an update PR so everyone can benefit.
