/**
 * <p>Provides a JSONPRequest class for repeated JSONP calls, and a convenience
 * method Y.jsonp(url, callback) to instantiate and send a JSONP request.</p>
 *
 * <p>Both the constructor as well as the convenience function take two
 * parameters: a url string and a callback.</p>
 *
 * <p>The url provided must include the placeholder string
 * &quot;{callback}&quot; which will be replaced by a dynamically
 * generated routing function to pass the data to your callback function.
 * An example url might look like
 * &quot;http://example.com/service?callback={callback}&quot;.</p>
 *
 * <p>The second parameter can be a callback function that accepts the JSON
 * payload as its argument, or a configuration object supporting the keys:</p>
 * <ul>
 *   <li>on - map of callback subscribers
 *      <ul>
 *         <li>success - function handler for successful transmission</li>
 *         <li>failure - function handler for failed transmission</li>
 *         <li>timeout - function handler for transactions that timeout</li>
 *      </ul>
 *  </li>
 *  <li>format  - override function for inserting the proxy name in the url</li>
 *  <li>timeout - the number of milliseconds to wait before giving up</li>
 *  <li>context - becomes <code>this</code> in the callbacks</li>
 *  <li>args    - array of subsequent parameters to pass to the callbacks</li>
 *  <li>allowCache - use the same proxy name for all requests? (boolean)</li>
 * </ul>
