/**
* Sets the type of metadata to use. Metadata is encoded in JSON, and each property
* in the JSON will become a property of the element itself.
*
* There are three supported types of metadata storage:
*
* attr: Inside an attribute. The name parameter indicates *which* attribute.
*
* class: Inside the class attribute, wrapped in curly braces: { }
*
* elem: Inside a child element (e.g. a script tag). The
* name parameter indicates *which* element.
*
* The metadata for an element is loaded the first time the element is accessed via jQuery.
*
* As a result, you can define the metadata type, use $(expr) to load the metadata into the elements
* matched by expr, then redefine the metadata type and run another $(expr) for other elements.
*
* @name $.metadata.setType
*
* @example This is a p
* @before $.metadata.setType("class")
* @after $("#one").metadata().item_id == 1; $("#one").metadata().item_label == "Label"
* @desc Reads metadata from the class attribute
*
* @example This is a p
* @before $.metadata.setType("attr", "data")
* @after $("#one").metadata().item_id == 1; $("#one").metadata().item_label == "Label"
* @desc Reads metadata from a "data" attribute
*
* @example This is a p
* @before $.metadata.setType("elem", "script")
* @after $("#one").metadata().item_id == 1; $("#one").metadata().item_label == "Label"
* @desc Reads metadata from a nested script element
*
* @param String type The encoding type
* @param String name The name of the attribute to be used to get metadata (optional)
* @cat Plugins/Metadata
* @descr Sets the type of encoding to be used when loading metadata for the first time
* @type undefined
* @see metadata()
