/**
 * Synchronize zooming and/or selections between a set of dygraphs.
 *
 * Usage:
 *
 *   var g1 = new Dygraph(...),
 *       g2 = new Dygraph(...),
 *       ...;
 *   var sync = Dygraph.synchronize(g1, g2, ...);
 *   // charts are now synchronized
 *   sync.detach();
 *   // charts are no longer synchronized
 *
 * You can set options using the last parameter, for example:
 *
 *   var sync = Dygraph.synchronize(g1, g2, g3, {
 *      selection: true,
 *      zoom: true
 *   });
 *
 * The default is to synchronize both of these.
 *
 * Instead of passing one Dygraph objet as each parameter, you may also pass an
 * array of dygraphs:
 *
 *   var sync = Dygraph.synchronize([g1, g2, g3], {
 *      selection: false,
 *      zoom: true
 *   });
