/** @file spot-locator.hpp
 ** Navigating a centre of user activity globally.
 ** When the user works with the application, we conceive this activity to be happening
 ** _"somewhere",_ at a _location_ within user interface space. We call this place where the
 ** user "is" and does its work *the Spot* -- to be seen both as a location and some part
 ** of the interface lit up by a spotlight beam. The SpotLocator implements the technical
 ** gear necessary to move this spot from one place in the interface to another.
 ** 
 ** @todo WIP 2/2017 early draft / foundations of "interaction control"
