dump

        Convert the given arguments to its printable
        form using Data::Dumper

        Return depending on the context either an array of elements or a string concatenating all given
        elements .

        Unlike Data::Dumper methods this methods accept a list of variables or ref to variables.
        A parallel array for the var names isn't required.

        Examples

                my $x = ctkBase->dump( 1 2 3)  ## yields 1 \n 2 \n 3 \n
                my @x = ctkBase->dump( 1 2 3)  ## yields (1 2 3)
                my @x = ctkBase->dump( [qw/1 2 3/])  ## yields [\n 1 \n 2 \n 3\n ] \n

quoteValue

        This method returns the given string enclosed in quotation's marks.
        So the argument 123 is returned as a strin containing '123'.
        If the argument is an array, so all elements are quotated.

        Pls note that the method doesn't neither scan the argument itself for
        quotations chars nor check if it has already been quotated.
