// TODO: connection filter functions
//			these are functions that accept a method invocation (like around
//			advice) and return a boolean based on it. That value determines
//			whether or not the connection proceeds. It could "feel" like around
//			advice for those who know what it is (calling proceed() or not),
//			but I think presenting it as a "filter" and/or calling it with the
//			function args and not the MethodInvocation might make it more
//			palletable to "normal" users than around-advice currently is
// TODO: execution scope mangling
//			YUI's event facility by default executes listeners in the context
//			of the source object. This is very odd, but should probably be
//			supported as an option (both for the source and for the dest). It
//			can be thought of as a connection-specific hitch().
// TODO: more resiliency for 4+ arguments to connect()

		//		the listener being registered with this call will be called.
		//		The adviceType defines the call order between the source and

		//		the name of the function being conected to srcObj.srcFunc
		// aroundObj:
		//		the scope in which to locate/execute the named aroundFunc.
		// aroundFunc:
		//		the name of, or a reference to, the function that will be used
		//		to mediate the advice call. Around advice requires a special
		//		unary function that will be passed a "MethodInvocation" object.
		//		These objects have several important properties, namely:
		//			- args
		//				a mutable array of arguments to be passed into the
		//				wrapped function
		//			- proceed
		//				a function that "continues" the invocation. The result
		//				of this function is the return of the wrapped function.
		//				You can then manipulate this return before passing it
		//				back out (or take further action based on it).
		// once:
		//		boolean that determines whether or not this connect() will
		//		create a new connection if an identical connect() has already
		//		been made. Defaults to "false".
		// delay:
		//		an optional delay (in ms), as an integer, for dispatch of a
		//		listener after the source has been fired.
		// rate:
		//		an optional rate throttling parameter (integer, in ms). When
		//		specified, this particular connection will not fire more than
		//		once in the interval specified by the rate
		// adviceMsg:
		//		boolean. Should the listener have all the parameters passed in
		//		as a single argument?
