//          For your spell-casting needs
//      This system provides IsUnitSpellcasting functions, enabling users to detect whether
//      the unit is casting a spell, channeling, finished casting, etc.
//      
//     -[*] API:
//      
//      function IsUnitS_$CAST$ takes unit u returns boolean
//      
//      $CAST$:
//          - Casting
//              returns true if the unit is casting in any phase
//          - PreCasting
//              returns true if the unit has begin its casting animation, but hasn't
//              started the ability
//          - Channeling
//              returns true if the unit channels an ability
//          - NotCasting
//              returns true if the unit doesn't cast anything
//          - FinishCasting
//              returns true if the unit has finished casting an ability
