How to safely auto-close a dialog

The SageTV V7.1.2 beta release notes includes this API change:

10. Added Global API call CloseOptionsMenu(WidgetName, WaitForClose) that allows specifying a specific options menu to close based on widget name; used to prevent accidental closing of options menus spawned from global hooks.

This call should be used by dialogs that can close themselves w/o any user input, perhaps via a timer or code loop that closes the dialog when complete.

Otherwise, if the dialog tries to close itself via the usual call to CloseOptionsMenu() & it isn't the top-most dialog, it will end up closing the other one & leaving itself alone.
