      Returns an Array of items based on the request arguments.
      If the store is in ASYNC mode, the items should be expected in an onComplete
      method passed in the request object. If store is in SYNC mode, the items will
      be return directly as well as within the onComplete method.
      note:
      The mode can be set on store initialization or during a fetch as one of the
      parameters.
      
      query: String
      The items in the store are treated as objects, but this is reading an XML
      document. Further, the actual querying of the items takes place in Tibco GI's
      jsx3.xml.Entity. Therefore, we are using their syntax which is xpath.
      Note:
      As conforming to a CDF document, most, if not all nodes are considered "records"
      and their tagNames are as such. The root node is named "data".
      
      examples:
      All items:
      	store.fetch({query:"*"});
      Item with a jsxid attribute equal to "1" (note you could use byId for this)
      	store.fetch({query:"//record[@jsxid='1']"});
      All items with any jsxid attribute:
      	"//record[@jsxid='*']"
      The items with a jsxid of '1' or '4':
      	"//record[@jsxid='4' or @jsxid='1']"
      All children within a "group" node (could be multiple group nodes):
      "//group/record"
      All children within a specific group node:
      "//group[@name='mySecondGroup']/record"
      Any record, anywhere in the document:
      	"//record"
      Only the records beneath the root (data) node:
      	"//data/record"
