Nodelist:: map(), filter() etc. need doc

[bill]

Not sure if this is intended behavior or not; On IE, Nodelist.map() and similar functions return a simple array, without special methods on it, so you can't do something like:

dojo.query(...).map(...).forEach();

The other problem is that those functions have no inline doc (particularly about the return value).

(In [9953]) adding docs for many of the NodeList? methods, adding tests for some of them, improving the code structure in general to make it clear that extending NodeList? is straightforward, and expanding the unit tests to check for return types from NodeList? methods. Still more work to be done there, though. Refs #3244

after much trying, I can't find space-efficient implementations of concat, slice, and splice. I'm marking this closed. We can re-open a new ticket for 1.0 regarding array-compat methods on NodeList?.

(In [10089]) remove some spruious function calls in the fast path on IE. Ensure that form disambiguation code still in play on IE and opera (where it's still, apparently, a problem). Refs #3244

OK, so if map() just returns a simple array need to update the comment, right?

//	summary:
//		see dojo.map(). The primary difference is that the acted-on 
//		array is implicitly this NodeList and the return is a 
//		dojo.NodeList (a subclass of Array)

filter() is documented as returning a Nodelist, which is correct.

no, map returns a NodeList?, as do forEach, style, styles, place, connect, orphan, adopt, and query. Re-closing.

(In [10104]) make sure that map returns a NodeList?. refs #3244.
