Trait React

pub trait React<S> {
    // Required method
    fn react(&self, source: &S);
}

Generic trait to represent interactions between Views (widgets or sets of grouped widgets affected by data change), Models (data structures that encapsulate data-modifying algorithms) and controls (widgets that modify the data contained in models). Widgets that affect a model (Controls) are represented by having the model imlement React. Widgets that are affected by a model (Views) are represented by having the widget implement React. The implementation will usually bind one or more closures to the argument. Usually, an widget is either a control OR a view with respect to a given model, but might a assume both roles. A widget might also be a view for one model but the control for another model. Models usually encapsulate a call to glib::Receiver::attach(.), waiting for messages that change their state. The models are implemented by closures activated on “signals”, implemented using Rust enums. The actual data is not held in the model structure, but is owned by a single closure executing on the main thread whenever some signal enum is received. If required, the model might spawn new threads or wait for response from worker threads, but they should never block.
