Name	Type	Default	Description

`checkLooks` _[optional]	boolean	true	If `true`: `[]` will match ONLY with another Array. `{}` will match ONLY with another object literal. If `false` `[]` and `{}` will match with any other object.
`checkDeepLooks` _[optional]	boolean	true	Same as `checkLooks` but it works with the inner values of the objects.
`ignoreNull` _[optional]	boolean	false	If `true`, `defaultValue`s with null as a value won't be checked and any `value` (except `undefined`) will be allowed.

Examples

Example 1.

just.defaults([1, 2], {a: 1}); // {a: 1}

Example 2.

just.defaults({}, null); // null: null is not an object literal.
just.defaults([], null, {'checkLooks': false}); // []: null is an object.
just.defaults(null, {}); // {}: null is not an object literal.
just.defaults(null, []); // []: null is not an Array.

Example 3.

just.defaults(1, NaN); // 1 (NaN is an instance of a Number)

Example 4.

just.defaults({'a': 1, 'b': 2}, {'a': 'some string'}, {'ignoreDefaultKeys': false}); // {'a': 'some string', 'b': 2}

Example 5.

just.defaults({'a': 1}, {'b': 2}, {'ignoreDefaultKeys': false}); // {'a': 1, 'b': 2}
just.defaults({'a': 1}, {'b': 2}, {'ignoreDefaultKeys': true}); // {'a': 1}

Example 6.

just.defaults(1, null, {'ignoreNull': false}) // null (1 is not an object)
just.defaults(1, null, {'ignoreNull': true}) // 1
just.defaults(undefined, null, {'ignoreNull': true}) // null
just.defaults({a: 1}, {a: null}, {'ignoreNull': true}) // {a: 1}
