Dojo needs some method of type-checking variables

[Brian Lucas]

Based on this bug here: http://dojotoolkit.org/trac/ticket/270 (see bottom)

It would be helpful to specify which type of variable an argument should be expecting (string, integer, object, array) and then proceed with a course of action (dojo.debug('error: wrong type passed for var...')) or something like that.

[Tom Trenka]

There is, in fact, plenty of helper methods provided in the dojo.lang namespace for this; it's just that not everything uses them, particularly with the widget system (nor probably should it).

Marking as "invalid".
