  ### String Methods Overview

  A method flagged as a String Method can be specified as a String containing a valid JavaScript expression. This expression will automatically be converted to a function with a return value matching the value of the last statement. Providing a String is not required - you may use a real function instead.

  For example - suppose you wanted to override the `leafClick()` method on the TreeGrid. Normally you would do so as follows:

        TreeGrid.create({
            ...
            leafClick : function(viewer, leaf, recordNum) {
                if(leaf.name == 'zoo') {
                    alert(1);
                } else {
                    alert(2);
                }
            }
        });

  Since leafClick is a stringMethod, however, you can shorten this to:

        TreeGrid.create({
            ...
            leafClick : "if(leaf.name == 'zoo') { alert(1); } else { alert(2); }";
        });
