	// passed in so we can ensure the value of it is truly undefined. In ES5, undefined
	// can no longer be modified.

	// as this (slightly) quickens the resolution process and can be more efficiently
	// minified (especially when both are regularly referenced in your plugin).

			//   - $('.dial').plugin('destroy');
