The main method you will be dealing with is register. It's basic signature is as follows:
``javascript`
enquire.register(query / string /, handler / object || array || function /);
query is the CSS media query you wish to respond to, and handler is an object containing any logic to handle the query. An example of usage is as follows:
`javascript
enquire.register("screen and (max-width:1000px)", {
match : function() {}, // OPTIONAL
// If supplied, triggered when the media query transitions
// from an unmatched to a matched state
unmatch : function() {}, // OPTIONAL
// If supplied, triggered when the media query transitions
// from a matched state to an unmatched state.
// Also may be called when handler is unregistered (if destroy is not available)
setup : function() {}, // OPTIONAL
// If supplied, triggered once immediately upon registration of the handler
destroy : function() {}, // OPTIONAL
// If supplied, triggered when handler is unregistered. Place cleanup code here
deferSetup : true // OPTIONAL, defaults to false
// If set to true, defers execution the setup function
// until the media query is first matched. still triggered just once
});

And for all the cool cats who are prepared to give their time to contribute code, feel free to open a pull request. If you could write unit tests to accompany your pull request that would be pretty sweet, but no worries if not - if it's good enough to be merged in, it's good enough for me to spend a little time to write tests on your behalf :-)
