/**
 * Zapatec.Wizard constructor.
 *
 * <pre>
 * A Wizard object provides common functionality that seems to be required by
 * any wizard:
 *
 *  - tabbed display
 *  - keyboard navigation through tabs
 *  - tab navigation bar (<button>-s)
 *  - standard/advanced mode (ability to hide some elements in standard mode)
 *  - data validation code
 *
 * Call the constructor like this:
 *
 *   var args = {
 *      tabsID    : "tabs",
 *      tabBarID  : "tab-bar"
 *   };
 *   var wizard = new Zapatec.Wizard(args);
 *
 * The args object contains named arguments.  As of now, the following two are
 * required:
 *
 *  - tabsID -- must be the ID of an element that contains one DIV for each tab.
 *  - tabBarID -- must be the ID of an element where the tab bar should be inserted.
 * </pre>
 *
 * @param {object} args Contains the arguments to be used, as described above
 * @return A new Zapatec.Wizard object
 * @type object
