Replace the key.Filter.Target field with a Focus field that matches only
of the specified tag has focus. This has the advantage of simpler event
delivery and for lower latency in delivering key events to new handlers.
For example, consider a UI where a button is activated by a key press,
which is turn displays a dialog with another button activated by the
same key. This change allows two button press(+releases) in the same frame
to arrive at the intended targets: one key press(+release) for each
button.

Until now, every event has had a particular target. We're about to simplify
key event delivery to match the first matching filter, so there is no
longer a global meaning to the tag argument to Source.Event.
Add fields to filters to specify their target tags.

Processing one event at a time allows a widget to execute commands after
the event that triggered it, instead of after all matching events.

Change the semantics of commands to execute immediately. In cases where
execution of a command introduces a inconsistency, freeze event routing
and defer the command as well as queued events to the next frame.
Rename Source.Queue to Source.Execute to better fit the new command
semantics.

Modeling focus change as an operation is awkward, because focus changes
logically happen during event processing, not layout. In particular, you
want to apply focus changes even if a widget is subsequently never laid
out.
Now that input.Source is concrete, it's much more straightforward to
offer focus changes as a command which can be queued through the
Source. A future change may similarly offer a command for directional
focus changes.

op.Offset is a convenience function most often used by layouts. Layouts
usually operate in integer coordinates, and the float32 version of op.Offset
needlessly force conversions from int to float32. This change makes op.Offset
take integer coordinates, to better match its intended use.

If the currently focused handler don't want the key event, try every

Before this change, every Event would be passed to the focused InputOp
tag, making it impossible to implement, say, program-wide shortcuts.
This change implements key.Event routing similar to how pointer.Events
are routed: every InputOp describes the set of keys it can handle, and
the router use that information to deliver an Event to the matching
handler.
This is an API change, because every InputOp must now include a filter
matching the keys it wants to handle.

The op.Save and Load methods exist to support the need for
transformation, clip, pointer area state to behave as stacks. For
example, layout needs to apply an offset to its children but not
subsequent operations.
Before this change, op.Save and Load were used to save and restore the
state:
ops := new(op.Ops)
// Save state.
state := op.Save(ops)
// Apply offset.
op.Offset(...).Add(ops)
// Draw with offset applied.
draw(ops)
// Restore state.
state.Load()
A drawback with the op.Save mechanism is that there is no direct
connection between the state change and the saving and loading of state.
This causes confusion as to when a Save/Load is needed and who is
responsible for performing them, which leads to subtle bugs and over-use
of Save/Loads.
This change gets rid of the general state stack and replaces it with
per-state stacks. There is now a stack for transformation, clip, pointer
areas, and they can only be restored by the code pushing state to them.
The example above now becomes:
ops := new(op.Ops)
// Push offset to the transformation stack.
stack := op.Offset(...).Push(ops)
// Draw with offset applied.
draw(ops)
// Restore state.
stack.Pop()
For convenience, transformation also be Add'ed if the stack operation is
not required.
Simple state such as the current material no longer has a way to be
restored; it is assumed the client of a PaintOp adds their desired
material operation before it.
API change: replace op.Save/Load with explicit Push/Pop scopes for
op.TransformOps, pointer.AreaOps, clip.Ops.
To ease porting, this change retains a version of op.Save/Load that
saves and restores the transformation and clip stacks. It also retains
an Add method for clip.Op.

Before this change, a radio button with the empty key ("") would be
displayed as hovering if no other button were.
It's still not possible to have no radio buttons selected when one of
them is the empty key. If that's becomes necessary, Enum.Value can be
converted to a *string.

The semantics were relaxed in a previous commit; this change renames
to operations accordingly.
API change. Use gofmt to adjust your code accordingly:
gofmt -r 'op.Push(a).Pop() -> op.Save(a).Load()'
gofmt -r 'op.Push(a) -> op.Save(a)'
gofmt -r 'v.Pop() -> v.Load()'
gofmt -r 'op.StackOp -> op.StateOp'

The funcs replace stack.Push and macro.Record, which become private.
This makes stack and macro faster to write, in particular for stacks
where you can just write the following line to save and restore the
state :
defer op.Push(ops).Pop()
This usage requires Push to return a pointer (since Pop has a pointer
receiver), or else the code doesn't compile.
For consistancy, I tried to do the same for op.Record, but this implied
to turn all the MacroOp fields into pointers, and this caused some
panics. As a result, op.Record doesn't return a pointer.
An other side effect pointed by Larry Clapp: StackOp and MacroOp are not
re-usable any more, you have to allocate a new one for each usage, using
the described funcs above.

Before this change, events were typically processed twice or more per
widget: once in the Layout method for refreshing the visual state, and
once per method that queries for state changes.
One example is widget.Clickable that processed events in both its Layout
and Clicked method.
This change establishes the convention that events are processed once, in
the Layout method. There are several advantages to that approach:
- Query methods such as Clickable.Clicked no longer need a layout.Context.
- State updates from events only occur in Layout.
- Widgets are simplified because they won't need a separate processEvents
(or similar) method and won't forget to call it from methods other than Layout.
- Useless calls to gtx.Events are avoided (gtx.Events only returns events
for the first call each frame for a given event.Tag).
The disadvantage is that state updates from input events will not appear
before Layout. For example, in the call sequence
var btn *widget.Clickable
if btn.Clicked() {...}
btn.Layout(...)
the Clicked call will not detect an incoming click until the frame after it
happened.
This is ok because
- The Gio event router automatically dispatches an extra frame after events
arrive, bounding the latency from events to queries such as Clicked to
at most one frame (~17 ms).
- The potential extra frame of latency does not apply to Layout methods as long
as they process events before drawing. In other words, the visual feedback
from input events are not delayed because of this change.

Change the definition of Widget from the implicit
type Widget func()
to the explicit functional
type Widget func(gtx layout.Context) layout.Dimensions
The advantages are numerous:
- Clearer connection between the incoming context and the output dimensions.
- Returning the Dimensions are impossible to omit.
- Contexts passed by value, so its fields can be exported
and freely mutated by the program.
The only disadvantage is the longer function literals and the many "returns".
What tipped the scales in favour of the explicit Widget variant is that type
aliases can dramatically shorten the literals:
type (
C = layout.Context
D = layout.Dimensions
)
widget := func(gtx C) D {
...
}
Note that the aliases are not part of the Gio API and it is up to each user
whether they want to use them.
Finally the Go proposal for lightweight function literals,
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/21498, may remove the disadvantage
completely in future.
Context becomes a plain struct with only public fields, and its Reset is
replaced by a NewContext convenience constructor.

The Value method both updated the enum value and returned it.
In order to access the current value withoutm, expose the Value
field of the enum and rename the method to Update. As a bonus we
can get rid of the SetValue method as well.
