/**
 * @namespace
 * $.couch is used to communicate with a CouchDB server, the server methods can
 * be called directly without creating an instance. Typically all methods are
 * passed an <code>options</code> object which defines a success callback which
 * is called with the data returned from the http request to CouchDB, you can
 * find the other settings that can be used in the <code>options</code> object
 * from <a href="http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/#jQuery-ajax-settings">
 * jQuery.ajax settings</a>
 * <pre><code>$.couch.activeTasks({
 *   success: function (data) {
 *     console.log(data);
 *   }
 * });</code></pre>
 * Outputs (for example):
 * <pre><code>[
 *  {
 *   "pid" : "<0.11599.0>",
 *   "status" : "Copied 0 of 18369 changes (0%)",
 *   "task" : "recipes",
 *   "type" : "Database Compaction"
 *  }
 *]</code></pre>
