I looked into this one, and it seems like you won't be able to determine
the type without re-writing cgi.rb, because it keeps that information
private, and clears the @output_hidden variable after extracting the info.

But in looking through the code, I came across something else I could
not decipher:

	input(attributes)

It is located on a number of lines, and I could not find any built-in
method or defined method called input() anywhere. It seems to be
used analagously to "super(attributes)".

Does anyone have an explanation for this?
