/**
 * Create a function which invokes another function with a bound context and
 * arguments (i.e., partial function application) when called; king of all
 * functions.
 *
 * Bind performs context binding (letting you select what the value of ##this##
 * will be when a function is invoked) and partial function application (letting
 * you create some function which calls another one with bound arguments).
 *
 * = Context Binding =
 *
 * Normally, when you call ##obj.method()##, the magic ##this## object will be
 * the ##obj## you invoked the method from. This can be undesirable when you
 * need to pass a callback to another function. For instance:
 *
 *   COUNTEREXAMPLE
 *   var dog = new JX.Dog();
 *   dog.barkNow(); // Makes the dog bark.
 *
 *   JX.Stratcom.listen('click', 'bark', dog.barkNow); // Does not work!
 *
 * This doesn't work because ##this## is ##window## when the function is
 * later invoked; @{JX.Stratcom.listen()} does not know about the context
 * object ##dog##. The solution is to pass a function with a bound context
 * object:
 *
 *   var dog = new JX.Dog();
 *   var bound_function = JX.bind(dog, dog.barkNow);
 *
 *   JX.Stratcom.listen('click', 'bark', bound_function);
 *
 * ##bound_function## is a function with ##dog## bound as ##this##; ##this##
 * will always be ##dog## when the function is called, no matter what
 * property chain it is invoked from.
 *
 * You can also pass ##null## as the context argument to implicitly bind
 * ##window##.
 *
 * = Partial Function Application =
 *
 * @{JX.bind()} also performs partial function application, which allows you
 * to bind one or more arguments to a function. For instance, if we have a
 * simple function which adds two numbers:
 *
 *   function add(a, b) { return a + b; }
 *   add(3, 4); // 7
 *
 * Suppose we want a new function, like this:
 *
 *   function add3(b) { return 3 + b; }
 *   add3(4); // 7
 *
 * Instead of doing this, we can define ##add3()## in terms of ##add()## by
 * binding the value ##3## to the ##a## argument:
 *
 *   var add3_bound = JX.bind(null, add, 3);
 *   add3_bound(4); // 7
 *
 * Zero or more arguments may be bound in this way. This is particularly useful
 * when using closures in a loop:
 *
 *   COUNTEREXAMPLE
 *   for (var ii = 0; ii < button_list.length; ii++) {
 *     button_list[ii].onclick = function() {
 *       JX.log('You clicked button number '+ii+'!'); // Fails!
 *     };
 *   }
 *
 * This doesn't work; all the buttons report the highest number when clicked.
 * This is because the local ##ii## is captured by the closure. Instead, bind
 * the current value of ##ii##:
 *
 *   var func = function(button_num) {
 *     JX.log('You clicked button number '+button_num+'!');
 *   }
 *   for (var ii = 0; ii < button_list.length; ii++) {
 *     button_list[ii].onclick = JX.bind(null, func, ii);
 *   }
 *
 * @param  obj|null  Context object to bind as ##this##.
 * @param  function  Function to bind context and arguments to.
 * @param  ...       Zero or more arguments to bind.
 * @return function  New function which invokes the original function with
 *                   bound context and arguments when called.

/**
 * Install a class into the Javelin ("JX") namespace. The first argument is the
 * name of the class you want to install, and the second is a map of these
 * attributes (all of which are optional):
 *
 *   - ##construct## //(function)// Class constructor. If you don't provide one,
 *       one will be created for you (but it will be very boring).
 *   - ##extend## //(string)// The name of another JX-namespaced class to extend
 *       via prototypal inheritance.
 *   - ##members## //(map)// A map of instance methods and properties.
 *   - ##statics## //(map)// A map of static methods and properties.
 *   - ##initialize## //(function)// A function which will be run once, after
 *       this class has been installed.
 *   - ##properties## //(map)// A map of properties that should have instance
 *       getters and setters automatically generated for them. The key is the
 *       property name and the value is its default value. For instance, if you
 *       provide the property "size", the installed class will have the methods
 *       "getSize()" and "setSize()". It will **NOT** have a property ".size"
 *       and no guarantees are made about where install is actually chosing to
 *       store the data. The motivation here is to let you cheaply define a
 *       stable interface and refine it later as necessary.
 *   - ##events## //(list)// List of event types this class is capable of
 *       emitting.
 *
 * For example:
 *
 *   JX.install('Dog', {
 *     construct : function(name) {
 *       this.setName(name);
 *     },
 *     members : {

 *       }
 *     },
 *     properites : {
 *       name : null,
 *     }
 *   });
 *
 * This creates a new ##Dog## class in the ##JX## namespace:
 *
 *   var d = new JX.Dog();
 *   d.bark();
 *
 * Javelin classes are normal Javascript functions and generally behave in
 * the expected way. Some properties and methods are automatically added to
 * all classes:
 *
 *   - ##instance.__id__## Globally unique identifier attached to each instance.
 *   - ##instance.__super__## Reference to the parent class constructor, if one
 *      exists. Allows use of ##this.__super__.apply(this, ...)## to call the
 *      superclass's constructor.
 *   - ##instance.__parent__## Reference to the parent class prototype, if one
 *      exists. Allows use of ##this.__parent__.someMethod.apply(this, ...)##
 *      to call the superclass's methods.
 *   - ##prototype.__class__## Reference to the class constructor.
 *   - ##constructor.__path__## List of path tokens used emit events. It is
 *       probably never useful to access this directly.
 *   - ##constructor.__readable__## //DEV ONLY!// Readable class name. You could
 *       plausibly use this when constructing error messages.
 *   - ##constructor.__events__## //DEV ONLY!// List of events supported by
 *       this class.
 *   - ##constructor.listen()## Listen to all instances of this class. See
 *       @{JX.Base}.
 *   - ##instance.listen()## Listen to one instance of this class. See
 *       @{JX.Base}.
 *   - ##instance.invoke()## Invoke an event from an instance. See @{JX.Base}.
 *

 *
 * Each Javelin :JX.Event has a 'type', which may be a normal Javascript type
 * (for instance, a click or a keypress) or an application-defined type. It
 * also has a "path", based on the path in the DOM from the root node to the
 * event target. Note that, while the type is required, the path may be empty
 * (it often will be for application-defined events which do not originate

 *
 * The path is determined by walking down the tree to the event target and
 * looking for nodes that have been tagged with metadata. These names are used
 * to build the event path, and unnamed nodes are ignored. Each named node may
 * also have data attached to it.
 *
 * Listeners specify one or more event types they are interested in handling,
 * and, optionally, one or more paths. A listener will only receive events
 * which occurred on paths it is listening to. See listen() for more details.

/**
 * Query and update positions and dimensions of nodes (and other things)
 * within a document. 'V' stands for 'Vector'. Each vector has two elements,
 * 'x' and 'y', which usually represent width/height (a "dimension vector") or
 * left/top (a "position vector").
 *
 * Vectors are used to manage the sizes and positions of elements, events,
 * the document, and the viewport (the visible section of the document, i.e.
 * how much of the page the user can actually see in their browser window).
 * Unlike most Javelin classes, @{JX.$V} exposes two bare properties, 'x' and
 * 'y'. You can read and manipulate these directly:
 *
 *   // Give the user information about elements when they click on them.
 *   JX.Stratcom.listen(
 *     'click',
 *     null,
 *     function(e) {
 *       var p = JX.$V(e);
 *       var d = JX.$V.getDim(e.getTarget());
 *
 *       alert('You clicked at <'+p.x+','+p.y'>; the element you clicked '+
 *             'is '+d.x+' pixels wide and '+d.y+' pixels high.');
 *     });
 *
 * You can also update positions and dimensions using vectors:
 *
 *   // When the user clicks on something, make it 10px wider and 10px taller.
 *   JX.Stratcom.listen(
 *     'click',
 *     null,
 *     function(e) {
 *       var t = e.getTarget();
 *       JX.$V(t).add(10, 10).setDim(t);
 *     });
 *
 * Additionally, vectors can be used to query document and viewport information:
 *
 *   var v = JX.$V.getViewport(); // Viewport (window) width and height.
 *   var d = JX.$V.getDocument(); // Document width and height.
 *   var visible_area = parseInt(100 * (v.x * v.y) / (d.x * d.y), 10);
 *   alert('You can currently see '+visible_area'+ percent of the document.');
