Enumerated Function

var exampleFunction = function(a, b, c) {
    $(a).append("<p>" + b + "->" + c + "</p>");
};
exampleFunction("#a", "example", 1);
//
// This function goes through each entry in the array values
// and if it is an array, Calls func once per value in the array.
//
// The real use of this function is to easily allow functions that normally take 
// single values to be expanded without any real work. See Ruleset.addValidator
// in http://jsfiddle.net/donabrams/dMNee/8/ for an example.
//
// Obviously this doesn't work if func is expecting an Array!
//
// returns no value.
