example code causes error.

In Jifty::Manual::PageRegions, in the Examples section, code is given
for a fragment, to be used within a region, which is collapsible by
toggling $collapsed with a link. The code shows how the calling
arguments are preserved by using the %ARGS hash.
/jifty/trunk/lib/Jifty/Manual/PageRegions.pod:r2791, line 186-194:
% if ( $collapsed ) {
<% Jifty->web->link(
label => _('text of the link'),
onclick => {
refresh_self => 1,
args => { %ARGS, collapsed => 0 },
},
) %>
% } else {
However, it looks like when used as a fragment in a region, the
component's %ARGS contains the arguments of the parent component in
addition to those intended for the fragment. Because these
(component) arguments will often contain an object, rendering the
region results in a nasty and confusing error:
WARN - Dumping circular structures is not supported with JSON::Syck at /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/Jifty/JSON.pm line 76.
What is intended is to only pass the arguments meant for that
fragment, passed in through its <%args> block. I am doing this with
the unwieldy:
%{(Jifty->web->get_region (Jifty->web->qualified_region))->arguments};
... but maybe there is a better way to phrase this in the documentation.
