[Dojo-interest] Question about dojo.mixin and this.inherited()

[Kenneth G. Franqueiro]

Actually, to be clear, this.inherited does need to be passed THE
arguments object, as declare uses that to figure out what was called to
be inherited.  If you want to pass a different set of arguments to the
inheriting function, specify it as another argument subsequent to
arguments itself.

See the following sections of the reference guide page for declare:

http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/dojo/declare.html#calling-superclass-methods

http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/dojo/declare.html#inherited
