Suggestion to add passing values to windows

[max1020]

Often you need to pass a value from one window to the other (e.g. getting the id in a master listview to open the details page of the item.)

In index.js one can easily to this:

Alloy.Globals.UI.openWindow = function(winName, arg) {
$.root.activeTab.open(Alloy.createController(winName, arg).getView());
};

In windowsA1.js for instance (passing a value to windowsA2):

function openWinA2(e) {
Alloy.Globals.UI.openWindow('windowA2', {nid: "12"});
}

windowsA2.js:

var args = arguments[0] || {};
console.log("args.nid: " + args.nid); //results in "12"

Thanks for this very useful contribution.
