* String variable substitution and string formatting.

* The following methods are added to the YUI instance
19
* @class YUI~substitute
23
* Does variable substitution on a string. It scans through the string
24
* looking for expressions enclosed in { } braces. If an expression
25
* is found, it is used a key on the object. If there is a space in
26
* the key, the first word is used for the key and the rest is provided
27
* to an optional function to be used to programatically determine the
28
* value (the extra information might be used for this decision). If
29
* the value for the key in the object, or what is returned from the
30
* function has a string value, number value, or object value, it is
31
* substituted for the bracket expression and it repeats. If this
32
* value is an object, it uses the Object's toString() if this has
33
* been overridden, otherwise it does a shallow dump of the key/value
34
* pairs if Y.dump is available (if dump isn't available, toString()
37
* This method is included in the 'substitute' module. It is not included
41
* @param s {string} The string that will be modified.
42
* @param o An object containing the replacement values
43
* @param f {function} An optional function that can be used to
44
* process each match. It receives the key,
45
* value, and any extra metadata included with
46
* the key inside of the braces.
47
* @return {string} the substituted string
