/**
* The plugin API is located in this file, which allows for creating actions
* and filters and hooking functions, and methods. The functions or methods will
* then be run when the action or filter is called.
*
* The API callback examples reference functions, but can be methods of classes.
* To hook methods, you'll need to pass an array one of two ways.
*
* For static methods (you won't have access to the <tt>$this</tt> variable in the
* method):
* <code>array('class_name', 'method_name');</code>
*
* The second method will need the reference to the object to have access to the
* method.
* <code>array(&$this, 'method_name');</code>
* <code>
* $obj = new myObject();
* array(&$obj, 'method_name');
* </code>
* Any of the syntaxes explained in the PHP documentation for the
* {@link http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.pseudo-types.php#language.types.callback 'callback' type} are valid.
*
* Also see the {@link http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API Plugin API} for more information
* and examples on how to use a lot of these functions.

/**
* Hooks a function to a specific filter action.
* Hooks a function or method to a specific filter action.
*
* Filters are the hooks that WordPress launches to modify text of various types
* before adding it to the database or sending it to the browser screen. Plugins
* can specify that one or more of its PHP functions is executed to
* modify specific types of text at these times, using the Filter API.
* See the [Plugin API] for a list of filter hooks.
*
* To use the API, the following code should be used to bind a callback to the filter
* <code>
* function example_hook($example) { echo $example; }
*
* add_filter('example_filter', 'example_hook');
* </code>
*
* In WordPress 1.5.1+, hooked functions can take extra arguments that are set when
* the matching do_action() or apply_filters() call is run. The <tt>$accepted_args
* allow for calling functions only when the number of args match. Hooked functions
* can take extra arguments that are set when the matching <tt>do_action()</tt> or
* <tt>apply_filters()</tt> call is run. For example, the action <tt>comment_id_not_found</tt>
* will pass any functions that hook onto it the ID of the requested comment.
*
* <strong>Note:</strong> the function will return true no matter if the function was hooked
* fails or not. There are no checks for whether the function exists beforehand and no checks
* to whether the <tt>$function_to_add is even a string. It is up to you to take care and
* this is done for optimization purposes, so everything is as quick as possible.
*
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Plugin
* @since 1.5
* @global array $wp_filter Stores all of the filters added in the form of
* wp_filter['tag']['array of priorities']['array of functions serialized']['array of ['array (functions, accepted_args)]']
* @global array $merged_filters Tracks the tags that need to be merged for later. If the hook is added, it doesn't need to run through that process.
*
* @param string $tag The name of the filter to hook the <tt>$function_to_add</tt> to.
* @param callback $function_to_add The name of the function to be called when the filter is applied.
* @param int $priority optional. Used to specify the order in which the functions associated with a particular action are executed (default: 10). Lower numbers correspond with earlier execution, and functions with the same priority are executed in the order in which they were added to the action.
* @param int $accepted_args optional. The number of arguments the function accept (default 1). In WordPress 1.5.1+, hooked functions can take extra arguments that are set when the matching do_action() or apply_filters() call is run.
* @return boolean true if the <tt>$function_to_add</tt> is added succesfully to filter <tt>$tag</tt>. How many arguments your function takes. In WordPress 1.5.1+, hooked functions can take extra arguments that are set when the matching <tt>do_action()</tt> or <tt>apply_filters()</tt> call is run.

* It also allows for the removal of actions and filters for objects after they

*
* This function is used to fix the issue where serialized, when used with

*
* How it works is that it first checks if the $function parameter is a string
* and passes it through, untouched. Functions won't need to be changed, since
* there can only be one declared.
*
* The second type that will be passed through untouched, is for static methods
* in classes. They don't need to be changed since they are much like functions
* in that you can only call one of them.
*

* one declared and you want to add more than one hook for each one that is
* declared, or want to change properties internal of the class that you declared
* the hook.
