Timo Tijhof ab7d6bf082 Documentation & clean up
* Commands for Sublime:

  Find*: "(\* @[a-z]+) ([^{].*) \{(.*)\}"
  Replace: "$1 {$3} $2"

  Save all && Close all

  Find: " function("
  Replace: " function ("

  Save all && Close all

  Find: "Intialization"
  Replace: "Initialization"

  Save all && Close all

* Consistent use of types (documented in CODING.rm):
  - Merged {Integer} into {Number}.
  - Merged {DOM Node} into {DOMElement}.

* Remove work-around /*jshint newcap: false */ from ve.js
  Calling Object() as a function to to use the internal
  toObject no longer throws a newcap warning in JSHint.
  It only does that normal functions now .

  (e.g. var a = Cap(); or var a = new uncap();)

* Add missing annotations (@static, @method, ..).

* Remove unused variables

* Remove null-assignments to variables that should just be
  undefined. There's a few variables explicitly set to null
  whereas they are set a few lines under and not used otherwise
  (e.g. 'tx' in ve.ce.Surface.prototype.onPaste)

# VisualEditor Code Guidelines
We inherit the code structure (about whitespace, naming and comments) conventions
from MediaWiki:
* [Manual:Coding conventions/JavaScript#Code structure](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Coding_conventions/JavaScript#Code_structure) on mediawiki.org.
## Documentation comments
* End sentences in a full stop.
* Continue sentences belonging to an annotation on the next line, indented with an
additional space.
* Types in documentation comments should be separated by a pipe character. Use types
that are listed in the Types section of this document, otherwise use the identifier
(full path from the global scope) of the constructor function (e.g. `{ve.dm.BranchNode}`).
### Annotations
We use the following annotations. They should be used in the order as they are described
here for consistency.
* @class
* @mixin
* @abstract
* @constructor
* @extends {Type}
* @static
* @method
* @until Text: Optional details.
* @source
* @param {Type} varName Optional description.
* @returns {Type} Optional description.
### Types
Special values:
* undefined
* null
* Infinity
* NaN
Native language types:
* Boolean
* String
* Number
* Object
Native constructors:
* Array
* Date
Browser constructors:
* DOMElement (alias for HTMLElement)
jQuery constructors:
* jQuery
* jQuery.Event
