/*
	dojo.query() architectural overview:

		dojo.query is a relatively full-featured CSS3 query library. It is
		designed to take any valid CSS3 selector and return the nodes matching
		the selector. To do this quickly, it processes queries in several
		steps, applying caching where profitable.
		
		The steps (roughly in reverse order of the way they appear in the code):
			1.) check to see if we already have a "query dispatcher"
				- if so, use that with the given parameterization. Skip to step 4.
			2.) attempt to determine which branch to dispatch the query to:
				- JS (optimized DOM iteration)
				- xpath (for browsers that support it and where it's fast)
				- native (not available in any browser yet)
			3.) tokenize and convert to executable "query dispatcher"
				- this is where the lion's share of the complexity in the
				  system lies. In the DOM version, the query dispatcher is
				  assembled as a chain of "yes/no" test functions pertaining to
				  a section of a simple query statement (".blah:nth-child(odd)"
				  but not "div div", which is 2 simple statements). Individual
				  statement dispatchers are cached (to prevent re-definition)
				  as are entire dispatch chains (to make re-execution of the
				  same query fast)
				- in the xpath path, tokenization yeilds a concatenation of
				  parameterized xpath selectors. As with the DOM version, both
				  simple selector blocks and overall evaluators are cached to
				  prevent re-defintion
			4.) the resulting query dispatcher is called in the passed scope (by default the top-level document)
				- for DOM queries, this results in a recursive, top-down
				  evaluation of nodes based on each simple query section
				- xpath queries can, thankfully, be executed in one shot
			5.) matched nodes are pruned to ensure they are unique

		//	summary:
		//		Returns nodes which match the given CSS3 selector, searching the
		//		entire document by default but optionally taking a node to scope
		//		the search by. Returns an instance of dojo.NodeList.
		//	description:
		//		dojo.query() is the swiss army knife of DOM node manipulation in
		//		Dojo. Much like Prototype's "$$" (bling-bling) function or JQuery's
		//		"$" function, dojo.query provides robust, high-performance
		//		CSS-based node selector support with the option of scoping searches
		//		to a particular sub-tree of a document.
		//
		//		Supported Selectors:
		//		--------------------
		//
		//		dojo.query() supports a rich set of CSS3 selectors, including:
		//
		//			* class selectors (e.g., `.foo`)
		//			* node type selectors like `span`
		//			* ` ` descendant selectors
		//			* `>` child element selectors 
		//			* `#foo` style ID selectors
		//			* `*` universal selector
		//			* `~`, the immediately preceeded-by sibling selector
		//			* `+`, the preceeded-by sibling selector
		//			* attribute queries:
		//			|	* `[foo]` attribute presence selector
		//			|	* `[foo='bar']` attribute value exact match
		//			|	* `[foo~='bar']` attribute value list item match
		//			|	* `[foo^='bar']` attribute start match
		//			|	* `[foo$='bar']` attribute end match
		//			|	* `[foo*='bar']` attribute substring match
		//			* `:first-child`, `:last-child` positional selectors
		//			* `:empty` content emtpy selector
		//			* `:empty` content emtpy selector
		//			* `:nth-child(n)`, `:nth-child(2n+1)` style positional calculations
		//			* `:nth-child(even)`, `:nth-child(odd)` positional selectors
		//			* `:not(...)` negation pseudo selectors
		//
		//		Any legal combination of these selectors will work with
		//		`dojo.query()`, including compound selectors ("," delimited).
		//		Very complex and useful searches can be constructed with this
		//		palette of selectors and when combined with functions for
		//		maniplation presented by dojo.NodeList, many types of DOM
		//		manipulation operations become very straightforward.
		//		
		//		Unsupported Selectors:
		//		----------------------
		//
		//		While dojo.query handles many CSS3 selectors, some fall outside of
		//		what's resaonable for a programmatic node querying engine to
		//		handle. Currently unsupported selectors include:
		//		
		//			* namespace-differentiated selectors of any form
		//			* all `::` pseduo-element selectors
		//			* certain pseduo-selectors which don't get a lot of day-to-day use:
		//			|	* `:root`, `:lang()`, `:target`, `:focus`
		//			* all visual and state selectors:
		//			|	* `:root`, `:active`, `:hover`, `:visisted`, `:link`,
		//				  `:enabled`, `:disabled`, `:checked`
		//			* `:*-of-type` pseudo selectors
		//		
		//		dojo.query and XML Documents:
		//		-----------------------------
		//		
		//		`dojo.query` currently only supports searching XML documents
		//		whose tags and attributes are 100% lower-case. This is a known
		//		limitation and will [be addressed soon](http://trac.dojotoolkit.org/ticket/3866)
		//		Non-selector Queries:
		//		---------------------
		//
		//		If something other than a String is passed for the query,
		//		`dojo.query` will return a new `dojo.NodeList` constructed from
		//		that parameter alone and all further processing will stop. This
		//		means that if you have a reference to a node or NodeList, you
		//		can quickly construct a new NodeList from the original by
		//		calling `dojo.query(node)` or `dojo.query(list)`.
		//
		//	query:
		//		The CSS3 expression to match against. For details on the syntax of
		//		CSS3 selectors, see <http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#selectors>
		//	root:
		//		A DOMNode (or node id) to scope the search from. Optional.
		//	returns: dojo.NodeList
		//		An instance of `dojo.NodeList`. Many methods are available on
		//		NodeLists for searching, iterating, manipulating, and handling
		//		events on the matched nodes in the returned list.
		//	example:
		//		search the entire document for elements with the class "foo":
		//	|	dojo.query(".foo");
		//		these elements will match:
		//	|	<span class="foo"></span>
		//	|	<span class="foo bar"></span>
		//	|	<p class="thud foo"></p>
		//	example:
		//		search the entire document for elements with the classes "foo" *and* "bar":
		//	|	dojo.query(".foo.bar");
		//		these elements will match:
		//	|	<span class="foo bar"></span>
		//		while these will not:
		//	|	<span class="foo"></span>
		//	|	<p class="thud foo"></p>
		//	example:
		//		find `<span>` elements which are descendants of paragraphs and
		//		which have a "highlighted" class:
		//	|	dojo.query("p span.highlighted");
		//		the innermost span in this fragment matches:
		//	|	<p class="foo">
		//	|		<span>...
		//	|			<span class="highlighted foo bar">...</span>
		//	|		</span>
		//	|	</p>
		//	example:
		//		set an "odd" class on all odd table rows inside of the table
		//		`#tabular_data`, using the `>` (direct child) selector to avoid
		//		affecting any nested tables:
		//	|	dojo.query("#tabular_data > tbody > tr:nth-child(odd)").addClass("odd");
		//	example:
		//		remove all elements with the class "error" from the document
		//		and store them in a list:
		//	|	var errors = dojo.query(".error").orphan();
		//	example:
		//		add an onclick handler to every submit button in the document
		//		which causes the form to be sent via Ajax instead:
		//	|	dojo.query("input[type='submit']").onclick(function(e){
		//	|		dojo.stopEvent(e); // prevent sending the form
		//	|		var btn = e.target;
		//	|		dojo.xhrPost({
		//	|			form: btn.form,
		//	|			load: function(data){
		//	|				// replace the form with the response
		//	|				var div = dojo.doc.createElement("div");
		//	|				dojo.place(div, btn.form, "after");
		//	|				div.innerHTML = data;
		//	|				dojo.style(btn.form, "display", "none");
		//	|			}
		//	|		});
		//	|	});
