Description

Noticed that Ti.UI.createXXX function returns JS Function. Shouldn't it return JS Object because API doc says "Creates and returns an *instance of* XX"? It prevents from writing a unit test against object like should(view).be.an.Object;. How to reproduce:

try {
    var should = require('should');
    var view = Ti.UI.createView();
    Ti.API.info(typeof view); // <-- This prints "function"
    should(view).be.an.Object; // <-- This throws assertion error because view is not an object
} catch (E) {
    Ti.API.info(E.toString());
}
