    initialize: function( param1, param2, ... ) {

/*
=head1 STATIC CLASSES

These are classes that are not instantiable, but instead provide a useful set of operations. (In Javascript terms, they do not provide a prototype member, so you will never call new upon them.)

/*
=head2 Abstract

This class doesn't do anything except provide a useful hook to handle abstract base classe
s.

=cut
*/

var Abstract = new Object();

/*
=head2 Class

Class provides the C<create()> function which is used to create new classes. The new class
 will automatically call its initialize() method, passing all parameters that were passedto the constructor.

  var My.Class = Class.create();
  My.Class.prototype = {
    initialize: function( param1, param2, ... ) {
      this.paramOne = param1;
      this.methodCall( param2 );
      // Do more stuff here
    }
  }

=cut
*/

var Class = {
    create: function() {
        return function() { 
            this.initialize.apply(this, arguments);
        }
    }
};
