	// height.

	// InputHandler returns a handler which receives key events when it has focus.
	// It is called by the Application class.

	// A value of nil may also be returned, in which case this primitive cannot
	// receive focus and will not process any key events.

	// The handler will receive the key event and a function that allows it to
	// set the focus to a different primitive, so that future key events are sent
	// to that primitive.
	//
	// The Application's Draw() function will be called automatically after the
	// handler returns.

	// The Box class provides functionality to intercept keyboard input. If you
	// subclass from Box, it is recommended that you wrap your handler using
	// Box.WrapInputHandler() so you inherit that functionality.

	// Implementers may call delegate() to pass the focus on to another primitive.

	// MouseHandler returns a handler which receives mouse events.
	// It is called by the Application class.
	//
	// A value of nil may also be returned to stop the downward propagation of
	// mouse events.

	// The Box class provides functionality to intercept mouse events. If you
	// subclass from Box, it is recommended that you wrap your handler using
	// Box.WrapMouseHandler() so you inherit that functionality.
