/** @file ui-location-resolver.hpp
 ** A solver to match incomplete coordinate specifications against the actual UI topology.
 ** Within the Lumiera UI, a _component view_ is typically _created or retrieved_ to live at some position
 ** within the tree-like topology of the interface. Such happens as a consequence of interaction or other
 ** events, and the logic as to where and how to place a new UI element shall not be intermingled with the
 ** actual event handling code. Rather, the ViewLocator, as a service related to the InteractionDirector,
 ** can be invoked to draw on some default configuration plus the actual UI topology present at this time.
 ** 
 ** @todo WIP 2/2018 early draft       ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////TICKET #1127
