// NOTE: this will remove the made via make(..) items from .items thus the

// NOTE: this uses the make(..) return value to implicitly infer the items
// 		to collect, thus the items must already be constructed and in 
// 		the same order as they are present in .items
// 		...also, considering that this implicitly identifies the items 
// 		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 
// 		returning an actual function, i.e. each make call would return 
// 		a "new" function that would reference the actual item (.item())
// 		and the previous item created (.prevItem()), ... etc.
// 		...this would enable us to uniquely identify the actual items 
// 		and prevent allot of specific errors...

//---------------------------------------------------------------------
// XXX general design:
// 		- each of these can take either a value or a function (constructor)
//		- the function has access to Items.* and context
//		- the constructor can be called from two contexts:
//			- 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...
