All Elements should allow String locator, which will be used as an :id

                 Key: WTR-436
                 URL: http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-436
             Project: Watir
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Other
    Affects Versions: 2.0
         Environment: any
            Reporter: Jarmo Pertman


Selenium has a lot of different ways of locating elements. This is
not what i would like to see in
Watir and as i understand then most of you in here also think like
that. But i think that it would
be great if ALL elements would accept one String as an identifier,
which would be used to locate an
element by id. No exceptions - it would be the
same for every element.

For example:
b.text_field("blah").set "my text" # would search text fields with ID and if 
not found
# would raise an exception

Most of the time i'm finding myself to use ID to locate
elements, which means that my tests are full of method(:id => 'xxxx').
Would be great if there would be less code.
