		//		analogous to the semantic of an "onRedo" event handler.

		//		this state. If a string is passed instead, it is used as the
		//		hash.

back.addToHistory = function(args){
		// summary:
		//		adds a state object (args) to the history list.
		// args: __backArgs
		//		The state object that will be added to the history list.
		// description:
		//		To support getting back button notifications, the object
		//		argument should implement a function called either "back",
		//		"backButton", or "handle". The string "back" will be passed as
		//		the first and only argument to this callback.
		//
		//		To support getting forward button notifications, the object
		//		argument should implement a function called either "forward",
		//		"forwardButton", or "handle". The string "forward" will be
		//		passed as the first and only argument to this callback.
		//
		//		If you want the browser location string to change, define "changeUrl" on the object. If the
		//		value of "changeUrl" is true, then a unique number will be appended to the URL as a fragment
		//		identifier (http://some.domain.com/path#uniquenumber). If it is any other value that does
		//		not evaluate to false, that value will be used as the fragment identifier. For example,
		//		if changeUrl: 'page1', then the URL will look like: http://some.domain.com/path#page1
		//
		//		There are problems with using dojo/back with semantically-named fragment identifiers
		//		("hash values" on an URL). In most browsers it will be hard for dojo/back to know
		//		distinguish a back from a forward event in those cases. For back/forward support to
		//		work best, the fragment ID should always be a unique value (something using new Date().getTime()
		//		for example). If you want to detect hash changes using semantic fragment IDs, then
		//		consider using dojo/hash instead (in Dojo 1.4+).
		//
		// example:
		//		|	back.addToHistory({
		//		|		back: function(){ console.log('back pressed'); },
		//		|		forward: function(){ console.log('forward pressed'); },
		//		|		changeUrl: true
		//		|	});

//	BROWSER NOTES:
		//	Safari 1.2:
		//	back button "works" fine, however it's not possible to actually
		//	DETECT that you've moved backwards by inspecting window.location.
		//	Unless there is some other means of locating.
		//	FIXME: perhaps we can poll on history.length?
		//	Safari 2.0.3+ (and probably 1.3.2+):
		//	works fine, except when changeUrl is used. When changeUrl is used,
		//	Safari jumps all the way back to whatever page was shown before
		//	the page that uses dojo.undo.browser support.
		//	IE 5.5 SP2:
		//	back button behavior is macro. It does not move back to the
		//	previous hash value, but to the last full page load. This suggests
		//	that the iframe is the correct way to capture the back button in
		//	these cases.
		//	Don't test this page using local disk for MSIE. MSIE will not create
		//	a history list for iframe_history.html if served from a file: URL.
		//	The XML served back from the XHR tests will also not be properly
		//	created if served from local disk. Serve the test pages from a web
		//	server to test in that browser.
		//	IE 6.0:
		//	same behavior as IE 5.5 SP2
		//	Firefox 1.0+:
		//	the back button will return us to the previous hash on the same
		//	page, thereby not requiring an iframe hack, although we do then
		//	need to run a timer to detect inter-page movement.

//If addToHistory is called, then that means we prune the
		//forward stack -- the user went back, then wanted to
		//start a new forward path.
		forwardStack = [];

//If the current hash matches the new one, just replace the history object with
			//this new one. It doesn't make sense to track different state objects for the same
			//logical URL. This matches the browser behavior of only putting in one history
			//item no matter how many times you click on the same #hash link, at least in Firefox
			//and Safari, and there is no reliable way in those browsers to know if a #hash link
			//has been clicked on multiple times. So making this the standard behavior in all browsers
