// Documentation:
// Returns an object containing url variables according to the diagram below. If no querystring exists false is returned.
// 
// Class diagram of the returned object if a querystring exists:
//  __________________________
// |          v_GET           |
// |__________________________|
// |   list_name[] : string   |
// |   list_value[] : string  |
// |   raw : string           |
// |__________________________|
// 
// list_name contains an array of the variable names, in the order they appear in the querystring. 
// list_value contains a corresponding array of the values, also in the order they appear in the querystring. 
// raw is a variable containing the entire querystring as-is, I can't see much use for it but it's included anyway. 
// Lastly probably the most used feature but one I don't know how to document in a class diagram. 
// Lets say the querystring is ?a=1&b=2&c=3. Then using v_GET.a will give 1, v_GET.b will equal 2 etc.
//
// Example:
// v_GET = v_GET_init()
// if (v_GET != false)
// {
//     alert(v_GET.list_name[0])
// }
