+ * Provides getElementsByClassName method, if there is no native
+ * implementation of this method.
+ *
+ * NOTE that there are limits and differences compared to native
+ * getElementsByClassName as defined by e.g.:
+ *   https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/document.getElementsByClassName
+ *   http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/dom.html#dom-getelementsbyclassname
+ *   http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/dom.html#dom-document-getelementsbyclassname
+ *
+ * Namely, this implementation supports only single class name as
+ * argument and not set of space-separated tokens representing classes,
+ * it returns Array of nodes rather than live NodeList, and has
+ * additional optional argument where you can limit search to given tags
+ * (via getElementsByTagName).
+ *
+ * Based on
+ *   http://code.google.com/p/getelementsbyclassname/
+ *   http://www.dustindiaz.com/getelementsbyclass/
+ *   http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1818865/do-we-have-getelementsbyclassname-in-javascript
+ *
+ * See also http://ejohn.org/blog/getelementsbyclassname-speed-comparison/
+ *
+ * @param {String} class: name of _single_ class to find
+ * @param {String} [taghint] limit search to given tags
+ * @returns {Node[]} array of matching elements
