A library to do this, it seems would consist of things like ActionProducers instead of Buttons, and TextInput instead of TextBoxen and ListBoxen... that is, of Event ()'s and Behaviour/Event String's, alongside with high-level renderers, coupled with a feedback mechanism, that'll then be called Button and TextBox. A Listbox is already made out of such primitives, but this should be transparent to the developer.
Another most important thing that I really want to have, is to enable the end-user to edit presentation, in a sensible way, like re-specifying the width of textboxen, add additional hiding panes etc. -- (c) this sig last receiving data processing entity.
