[patch][cla] add an .instantiate method to NodeList

Description (last modified by dante)

it would be cool to do bulk-widget creation programatically. 

dojo.require('dijit.form.Button');
dojo.addOnLoad(function(){
    dojo.query(".buttons").instantiate(dijit.form.Button,{});
});

the idea is to assist in creating semantic/degradable dojo-sites. this would make it easier to manipulate nodes or groups of nodes, and create widgets out of them.

this probably has enough tests now, scattered throughout and it's own dijit test case. Will open another ticket should I (or others) find it necessary to sniff .startup() or otherwise return something other than a NodeList from the method.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
