Modifies Contents API to return Error objects...
Modifies Contents API to return Error objects Modfies the Contents class to return JavaScript Error objects instead of passing on the return values from $.ajax(). This has two advantages. First, it allows the content manager to parse errors and give more informative messages than the ajax response. Second, it makes the Contents interface more general, since other kinds of backends might generate client-side errors.

Extended version of the Python builtin dir(), which does a few extra
checks, and supports common objects with unusual internals that confuse
dir(), such as Traits and PyCrust.
This version is guaranteed to return only a list of true strings, whereas
dir() returns anything that objects inject into themselves, even if they
are later not really valid for attribute access (many extension libraries
have such bugs).
