dojo.debug enhancements

[jkuhnert@…]

I think I've suggested (but not implemented ) similar functionality before, but this time I've got a few more ideas to spin into it:

• Add dojo.info/warn/error/debug - Though I know we're supposed to be ~reducing~ the size of dojo builds, I think this feature in combination with the next one will reduce the compressed dojo size even more than now to make up for it. The idea behind these functions would be to refactor the current dojo.debug somewhat to take in additional params to handle the "type" of statement. (ie debug/info/warn/error) An appropriate div(globally initialised and setup for efficiency) element will be used to wrap the statement output with a style class + keyword appended before the statement. (So the end result might be <div class="warn">WARN This is a dojo.warn statement</div> )

• Add ability to strip out various kinds of debug statements in the dojo package builder. The default could be something along the lines of "strip out all debug/info statements". So....One scenerio might be that the default built dojo.js has almost all statements stripped out, while the dojo.uncompressed.js has them all in with their default values.

I definitely intend on doing this myself, but want some sort of general approval before wasting time on unwanted features.

I believe the "wants" in here are being covered by the new jslinker toolset being added in by James Burke.
