/** @file test/test-nexus.hpp
** A fake UI backbone for investigations and unit testing.
** Any relevant element within the Lumiera GTK UI is connected to the [UI-Bus](ui-bus.hpp)
** So for testing and investigation we need a white room setup to provide an instrumented
** backbone to run any test probes against. The test::Nexus allows to [hook up](\ref testUI())
** a generic interface element, to participate in a simulated interface interaction.
**
** This class test::Nexus acts as front-end for unit tests, while the actual implementation
** of a test rigged mock interface backbone remains an implementation detail. The purpose
** of this setup is to capture messages sent from elements operated within a test setup
** and directed at "core services" (that is, towards a presentation state manager or
** towards the Proc-Layer for command invocation). Test code may then verify the
** proper shape and incidence of these messages.
**
** @see [abstract-tangible-test.cpp]
** @see [BusTerm_test]
