        //              Objects of this class keep list of arrays in the form [name, check,
        //              wrap, directReturn] that are used to determine what the contextual
        //              result of a set of checked arguments is. All check/wrap functions
        //              in this registry should be of the same arity.
        //      example:
        //      |       // create a new registry
        //      |       var reg = new dojo.AdapterRegistry();
        //      |       reg.register("handleString",

        //      |               }
        //      |       );
        //      |       reg.register("handleArr",
        //      |               dojo.isArray,
        //      |               function(arr){

        //      |       );
        //      |
        //      |       // now we can pass reg.match() *either* an array or a string and
        //      |       // the value we pass will get handled by the right function
