For some reason, I'm thinking Travis was wondering what all the types of
returnable values are. So far, pixels, integers, and RGBA seem to be
covered based upon your examples. |rgb| is also mentioned, but it's not
clear if that's a reference to the hexadecimal or functional notation.
The above code also seems overly complex IMHO. I can't tell what
|"length"| is for. |x.getStyleAs("pxint")| or |x.getStyleAs("px",
"int")| seem simpler; both output a pixel value as an integer. (I assume
|x| is a reference to something like |element.style.margin| or am I
mistaken?)
