Class: LocationTools

locationTools~ LocationTools

Manipulate/parse the location bar of the browser

This is here because we have a couple of places where we want to remove query parameters from the location bar. This simplifies and helps us maintain DRY.

I call this LocationTools, because I do not want to call it simply Location, because that seems woefully prone to naming colission.
