                // description:
                //              NodeList instances provide many utilities that reflect

                //              manipulation, and event handling. Instead of needing to dig up
                //              functions in the dojo package, NodeLists generally make the
                //              full power of Dojo available for DOM manipulation tasks in a
                //              simple, chainable way.
                // example:
                //              create a node list from a node
                //              |       require(["dojo/query", "dojo/dom"

                //              |       });
                // example:
                //              get a NodeList from a CSS query and iterate on it
                //              |       require(["dojo/on", "dojo/dom"

                //              |       });
                // example:
                //              use native and Dojo-provided array methods to manipulate a
                //              NodeList without needing to use dojo.* functions explicitly:

                //              |               // ...including the special "function as string" shorthand

                //              |               // function to get specific items wrapped in a new NodeList:
                //              |               var node = l[3]; // the 4th element
                //              |               var newList = l.at(1, 3); // the 2nd and 4th elements

                //              - css3: If the browser has a native selector engine with support for CSS3 pseudo
                //              selectors (most modern browsers except IE8), this will be used, otherwise the
                //              full Acme engine will be loaded.
                //
                //              - Or the module id of a selector engine can be used to explicitly choose the selector engine
                //
                //              For example, if you are using CSS3 pseudo selectors in module, you can specify that
                //              you will need support them with:
                //              |       require(["dojo/query!css3"], function(query){
                //              |               query('#t > h3:nth-child(odd)')...
                //
                //              You can also choose the selector engine/load configuration by setting the query-selector:
                //              For example:
                //              |       <script data-dojo-config="query-selector:'css3'" src="dojo.js"></script>
                //
                return new NodeList(); // dojo/NodeList
         };
         =====*/

        // the query that is returned from this module is slightly different than dojo.query,
        // because dojo.query has to maintain backwards compatibility with returning a
        // true array which has performance problems. The query returned from the module
        // does not use true arrays, but rather inherits from Array, making it much faster to
        // instantiate.
        dojo.query = queryForEngine(defaultEngine, function(array){
                // call it without the new operator to invoke the back-compat behavior that returns a true array
                return NodeList(array); // dojo/NodeList

                //              can be used as AMD plugin to conditionally load new query engine
                // example:
