/** @file navigator.hpp
 ** Global interface navigation control.
 ** Beyond just clicking on some buttons or issuing menu / key commands,
 ** the Lumiera interface allows the user to _move_ through interface space,
 ** to leave one _"place"_ (WorkSite) and enter another. The interact::Navigator
 ** is a controller entity to implement the necessary mechanics for this navigation.
 ** 
 ** @todo WIP 2/2017 early draft / foundations of "interaction control"

 ** @see interaction-director.hpp
