    abstract class for event listeners. EventListeners can be used to intercept

    incoming events (keyboard & mouse) directly from a sensor, or even

    for a complete display device.

    A concrete application is the bubble help, which tracks entering/leaving

    views, and pops up some help message. 

    See concrete code in ActiveHelp.

    For each intercepted event, a corresponding method is called for in instances

    of myself - these MUST return true, if the event is to be ignored (i.e.

    assumed to be processed and consumed by the reader, 

    and MUST return false, if the normal event procedure should be performed. 

    Since this is an abstract class,

    all of my intercept methods return false. 

    They are meant to be redefined in concrete subclasses.
