You will have to implement additional tests if these functions

Known issues:
typeof HTMLElementCollection returns function in Safari, but
Y.type() reports object, which could be a good thing --
but it actually caused the logic in Y.Lang.isObject to fail.

o <object>the item to test
- Returns:
string - the detected type
