documentation
"
    ToggleControllers redefine some of ButtonControllers behavior;
    user interaction: they always triggerOnDown, and ignore buttonrelease.
    Finally, every buttonPress leads to a toggle action.

    ToggleController adds another actionBlock, since it inherits press-
    and releaseActions, while we want one actionBlock to be used for both
    on- and off. The actionBlock (if any) is evaluated with the current
    toggles state if it expects an argument, or without argument if its a no-arg
    block.

    Other than that, all model relations are inherited - i.e. if the view has a model,
    that one gets change-messages and the toggle updates on aspect changes.
