[Laszlo-dev] Someone broke lztest

[P T Withington]

I think the issue you are seeing is that LzFormatter is a mixin and  
there is no 'base' definition of a mixin -- it's LzFormatter that is  
probably undefined.  I think we should back out the publishing of  
mixin's for now, but I don't know if that will break the doc.

We agree that there should not be lz.Node.  That's a mistake.  We  
should back these out.
