	// summary:
	//		Simple query engine that matches using filter functions, named filter
	//		functions or objects by name-value on a query object hash
	//
	// description:
	//		The SimpleQueryEngine provides a way of getting a QueryResults through
	//		the use of a simple object hash as a filter.  The hash will be used to
	//		match properties on data objects with the corresponding value given. In
	//		other words, only exact matches will be returned.
	//
	//		This function can be used as a template for more complex query engines;
	//		for example, an engine can be created that accepts an object hash that
	//		contains filtering functions, or a string that gets evaluated, etc.
	//
	//		When creating a new dojo.store, simply set the store's queryEngine
	//		field as a reference to this function.
	//
	// query: Object
	//		An object hash with fields that may match fields of items in the store.
	//		Values in the hash will be compared by normal == operator, but regular expressions
	//		or any object that provides a test() method are also supported and can be
	//		used to match strings by more complex expressions
	//		(and then the regex's or object's test() method will be used to match values).
	//
	// options: dojo/store/api/Store.QueryOptions?
	//		An object that contains optional information such as sort, start, and count.
	//
	// returns: Function
	//		A function that caches the passed query under the field "matches".  See any
	//		of the "query" methods on dojo.stores.
	//
	// example:
	//		Define a store with a reference to this engine, and set up a query method.
