        // summary:
        //              `dojo.connect` is the core event handling and delegation method in
        //              Dojo. It allows one function to "listen in" on the execution of
        //              any other, triggering the second whenever the first is called. Many
        //              listeners may be attached to a function, and source functions may
        //              be either regular function calls or DOM events.
        //
        // description:
        //              Connects listeners to actions, so that after event fires, a
        //              listener is called with the same arguments passed to the original
        //              function.
        //
        //              Since `dojo.connect` allows the source of events to be either a
        //              "regular" JavaScript function or a DOM event, it provides a uniform
        //              interface for listening to all the types of events that an
        //              application is likely to deal with though a single, unified
        //              interface. DOM programmers may want to think of it as
        //              "addEventListener for everything and anything".
        //
        //              When setting up a connection, the `event` parameter must be a
        //              string that is the name of the method/event to be listened for. If
        //              `obj` is null, `dojo.global` is assumed, meaning that connections
        //              to global methods are supported but also that you may inadvertently
        //              connect to a global by passing an incorrect object name or invalid
        //              reference.
        //
        //              `dojo.connect` generally is forgiving. If you pass the name of a
        //              function or method that does not yet exist on `obj`, connect will
        //              not fail, but will instead set up a stub method. Similarly, null
        //              arguments may simply be omitted such that fewer than 4 arguments
        //              may be required to set up a connection See the examples for details.
        //
        //              The return value is a handle that is needed to 
        //              remove this connection with `dojo.disconnect`.
        //
        // obj: 
        //              The source object for the event function. 
        //              Defaults to `dojo.global` if null.
        //              If obj is a DOM node, the connection is delegated 
        //              to the DOM event manager (unless dontFix is true).
        //
        // event:
        //              String name of the event function in obj. 
        //              I.e. identifies a property `obj[event]`.
        //
        // context: 
        //              The object that method will receive as "this".
        //
        //              If context is null and method is a function, then method
        //              inherits the context of event.
        //      
        //              If method is a string then context must be the source 
        //              object object for method (context[method]). If context is null,
        //              dojo.global is used.
        //
        // method:
        //              A function reference, or name of a function in context. 
        //              The function identified by method fires after event does. 
        //              method receives the same arguments as the event.
        //              See context argument comments for information on method's scope.
        //
        // dontFix:
        //              If obj is a DOM node, set dontFix to true to prevent delegation 
        //              of this connection to the DOM event manager.
        //
        // example:
        //              When obj.onchange(), do ui.update():
