 * submit functions using \@see. Conversely, form, validate, and submit
 * functions should reference the action function using \@see. For examples of
 * this see comment_unpublish_by_keyword_action(), which has the following in
 * its doxygen documentation:

 * \@ingroup actions
 * \@see comment_unpublish_by_keyword_action_form().

/**
 * Perform a given list of actions by executing their callback functions.
 *
 * Given the IDs of actions to perform, find out what the callbacks
 * for the actions are by querying the database. Then call each callback
 * using the function call $function($object, $context, $a1, $a2)
 * where $function is the name of a function written in compliance with
 * the action specification; that is, foo($object, $context).
 *
 * @param $action_ids
 *   The ID of the action to perform. Can be a single action ID or an array
 *   of IDs. IDs of instances will be numeric; IDs of singletons will be
 *   function names.
 * @param $object
 *   Parameter that will be passed along to the callback. Typically the
 *   object that the action will act on; a node, user or comment object.
 *   If the action does not act on an object, pass a dummy object. This
 *   is necessary to support PHP 4 object referencing.
 * @param $context
 *   Parameter that will be passed along to the callback. $context is a
 *   keyed array containing extra information about what is currently
 *   happening at the time of the call. Typically $context['hook'] and
 *   $context['op'] will tell which hook-op combination resulted in this
 *   call to actions_do().
 * @param $a1
 *   Parameter that will be passed along to the callback.
 * @param $a2
 *   Parameter that will be passed along to the callback.
 *
 * @return
 *   An associative array containing the result of the function that
 *   performs the action, keyed on action ID.
