 /**
- * Hands off alterable variables to type-specific *_alter implementations.
- *
- * This dispatch function hands off the passed in variables to type-specific
- * hook_TYPE_alter() implementations in modules. It ensures a consistent
- * interface for all altering operations.
- *
- * A maximum of 2 alterable arguments is supported. In case more arguments need
- * to be passed and alterable, modules provide additional variables assigned by
- * reference in the last $context argument:
- * @code
- *   $context = array(
- *     'alterable' => &$alterable,
- *     'unalterable' => $unalterable,
- *     'foo' => 'bar',
- *   );
- *   drupal_alter('mymodule_data', $alterable1, $alterable2, $context);
- * @endcode
- *
- * Note that objects are always passed by reference in PHP5. If it is absolutely
- * required that no implementation alters a passed object in $context, then an
- * object needs to be cloned:
- * @code
- *   $context = array(
- *     'unalterable_object' => clone $object,
- *   );
- *   drupal_alter('mymodule_data', $data, $context);
- * @endcode
- *
- * @param $type
- *   A string describing the data type of the alterable $data. 'form', 'links',
- *   'node_content', and so on are several examples.
- * @param &$data
- *   The primary data to be altered.
- * @param &$context1
- *   (optional) An additional variable that is passed by reference.
- * @param &$context2
- *   (optional) An additional variable that is passed by reference. If more
- *   context needs to be provided to implementations, then this should be an
- *   keyed array as described above.
