    /**
     * Does variable substitution on a string. It scans through the string
     * looking for expressions enclosed in { } braces. If an expression
     * is found, it is used a key on the object.  If there is a space in
     * the key, the first word is used for the key and the rest is provided
     * to an optional function to be used to programatically determine the
     * value (the extra information might be used for this decision). If
     * the value for the key in the object, or what is returned from the
     * function has a string value, number value, or object value, it is
     * substituted for the bracket expression and it repeats.  If this
     * value is an object, it uses the Object's toString() if this has
     * been overridden, otherwise it does a shallow dump of the key/value
     * pairs if Y.dump is available (if dump isn't available, toString()
     * is used).
     *
     * This method is included in the 'substitute' module.  It is not included
     * in the YUI module.
     *
     * @method substitute
     * @param {string} s The string that will be modified.
     * @param {object} o An object containing the replacement values.
     * @param {function} f An optional function that can be used to
     *                     process each match.  It receives the key,
     *                     value, and any extra metadata included with
     *                     the key inside of the braces.
     * @param {boolean} recurse if true, the replacement will be recursive,
     * letting you have replacement tokens in replacement text.  The
     * default is false.
     * @return {string} the substituted string.
