// 		passing the make function without calling it can trick the system
// 		and lead to unexpected results.
//
// XXX would be nice to have a better check/test...
// 		...this could be done by chaining instances of make instead of

// 		a "new" function that would reference the actual item (.item())

// Items...
//
// XXX general design:
// 		- each of these can take either a value or a function (constructor)

//			- external
//				called from the module or as a function...
//				calls the passed constructor (passing context)
//				builds the container
//			- nested
//				called from constructor function...
//				calls constructor (if applicable)
//				builds item(s)
// XXX need a way to pass container constructors (a-la ui-widgets dialog containers)
// 		- passing through the context (this) makes this more flexible...
// 		- passing via args fixes the signature which is a good thing...
