module VER
  # This class acts as a proxy for the widget.
  # it forwards all methods, except for [event], which points to the event
  # currently invoked.
  #
  # This is done to allow methods operating on the widget to obtain information
  # about the event, so they can act intelligently.
  #
  # The usage of [method_missing] might make it a bit slower right after
  # startup, but should be next to no difference to a direct reference of widget
  # as we dynamically define the methods handled.
  #
  # Due to the dynamic nature of ruby, what widget is underneath will not make
  # any difference, and WidgetEvent will be more or less invisible outside of
  # backtraces.
