Cleanup getArgs(), Make Parse Comma-Separated Values

[euzuro]

the getArgs() function:

• exposes/overrides global variables
• has multiple return statements
• does not correctly process values of type "-180,-90,90,180" (should parse into array)

[euzuro]

remove global vars (keyValue and pairs), remove return statement in middle of function, make value parsing into arrays when necessary

[euzuro]

tests pass ff & ie6. faz favor, o review

[euzuro]

new patch even prettier than the first. all tests pass ff & ie6

[euzuro]

cleaned up the logic a little bit and added some nd and inline comments. also, renamed function to getParameters() which I think is clearer. We maintain getArgs() but mark as deprecated.

No feedback on list, seems like it's good to commit.

[euzuro]

following in style, we'll throw a console warning on use of now deprecated getArgs(). Also add new test to make sure getArgs is working ok.

[euzuro]

updated patch. please review i will commit

[crschmidt]

Looks good -- go ahead to commit

[euzuro]

(In [4052]) rename and deprecate getArgs() function in favor of getParameters(), make it such that it parses comma-separated values from key/value pairs into Arrays (since they are encoded that way). (Closes #860)

Let's get rid of getArgs in the library if we're going to be issuing warnings about it.

[tschaub]

remove use of getArgs in the library

[tschaub]

All tests pass. Please review.

[crschmidt]

Good point. Sorry I missed that.

[tschaub]

(In [4080]) removing use of getArgs from the library (closes #860).
