dojo.lang.hitch = function(/*Object*/thisObject, /*Function|String*/method){
	// summary: 
	//		Returns a function that will only ever execute in the a given scope
	//		(thisObject). This allows for easy use of object member functions
	//		in callbacks and other places in which the "this" keyword may
	//		otherwise not reference the expected scope. Note that the order of
	//		arguments may be reversed in a future version.
	// thisObject: the scope to run the method in
	// method:
	//		a function to be "bound" to thisObject or the name of the method in
	//		thisObject to be used as the basis for the binding
	// usage:
	//		dojo.lang.hitch(foo, "bar")(); // runs foo.bar() in the scope of foo
	//		dojo.lang.hitch(foo, myFunction); // returns a function that runs myFunction in the scope of foo

	// FIXME:
	//		should this be extended to "fixate" arguments in a manner similar
	//		to dojo.lang.curry, but without the default execution of curry()?

	// summary:
	//		Creates a reference to anonFuncPtr in thisObj with a completely
	//		unique name. The new name is returned as a String.  If
	//		searchForNames is true, an effort will be made to locate an
	//		existing reference to anonFuncPtr in thisObj, and if one is found,
	//		the existing name will be returned instead. The default is for
	//		searchForNames to be false.

dojo.lang.forward = function(funcName){
	// summary:
	// 		Returns a function that forwards a method call to
	// 		this.funcName(...).  Unlike dojo.lang.hitch(), the "this" scope is
	// 		not fixed on a single object. Ported from MochiKit.
	return function(){
		return this[funcName].apply(this, arguments);
	}; // Function
}

dojo.lang.curry = function(thisObj, func /* args ... */){
	// summary:
	//		similar to the curry() method found in many functional programming
	//		environments, this function returns an "argument accumulator"
	//		function, bound to a particular scope, and "primed" with a variable
	//		number of arguments. The curry method is unique in that it returns
	//		a function that may return other "partial" function which can be
	//		called repeatedly. New functions are returned until the arity of
	//		the original function is reached, at which point the underlying
	//		function (func) is called in the scope thisObj with all of the
	//		accumulated arguments (plus any extras) in positional order.
	// examples:
	//		assuming a function defined like this:
	//			var foo = {
	//				bar: function(arg1, arg2, arg3){
	//					dojo.debug.apply(dojo, arguments);
	//				}
	//			};
	//		
	//		dojo.lang.curry() can be used most simply in this way:
	//		
	//			tmp = dojo.lang.curry(foo, foo.bar, "arg one", "thinger");
	//			tmp("blah", "this is superfluous");
	//			// debugs: "arg one thinger blah this is superfluous"
	//			tmp("blah");
	//			// debugs: "arg one thinger blah"
	//			tmp();
	//			// returns a function exactly like tmp that expects one argument
	//
	//		other intermittent functions could be created until the 3
	//		positional arguments are filled:
	//
	//			tmp = dojo.lang.curry(foo, foo.bar, "arg one");
	//			tmp2 = tmp("arg two");
	//			tmp2("blah blah");
	//			// debugs: "arg one arg two blah blah"
	//			tmp2("oy");
	//			// debugs: "arg one arg two oy"
	//
	//		curry() can also be used to call the function if enough arguments
	//		are passed in the initial invocation:
	//
	//			dojo.lang.curry(foo, foo.bar, "one", "two", "three", "four");
	//			// debugs: "one two three four"
	//			dojo.lang.curry(foo, foo.bar, "one", "two", "three");
	//			// debugs: "one two three"

	//		to skip some elements in args.
