What is the meaning of this type wave thing in documentation:
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/3/api/YUI~dump.html

What does it mean: Class YUI~dump
What's the deal with ~
This is the first time I see this in any documentation.

Also, the real question is how to use the dump in logging?
Suppose I want to get contents of the object
Should I use Y.log(Y.dump(o)) <- This does not work by the way, says "Object [object Object] has no method 'dump'"

So how do I use dump?
Thanks.

Thank you. I liked it better in YUI2 when it was something like Y.Lang.dump()

Do you mean, in YUI3 I can use Y.Lang.dump just like in YUI2? Do I have to load any modules?

It's my understanding that the tilde (~) character is a YUI3 convention for "this thing hangs directly off the YUI object you get back from the use function, even though it's a separate module."

So YUI~dump gives you Y.dump
YUI~oop gives you Y.extend, Y.augment, etc.
