Comment:

 Attached a patch, but this causes a problem for the declaredClass
 property. It uses className.

 declaredClass is used by dijit to create instance IDs, uses it to do a
 getObject to get default attributes.

 dojo.NodeList's instantiate method uses it to create instances. This
 anonymous constructor functionality would not be used likely with
 NodeList.instantiate, but the widget implications are a little bit more
 troublesome.

 In general it is nice to be able to use a string name for a
 module/constructor -- it means you do not have to know the name beforehand
 and allows dynamic code loading. So I'll close this as wontfix.
