/** @file work-site.hpp
 ** Represent a place "in" the interface where the user is about to do something.
 ** The concept of a WorkSite is introduced within the Lumiera UI to allow for a
 ** coherent handling of user interactions above the level of individual widgets.
 ** We acknowledge that our users not just push some buttons; rather they are here
 ** to perform ongoing trails of work, which serve to create a new artistic structure,
 ** known as "a film". These trails of work follow their own, inner coherence and can
 ** be structured into several "passes", "concerns", "topics", "stages". The user typically
 ** has to switch frequently between several contexts, which is one of the major impediments
 ** to hamper the fluidity of "media work". To mitigate, we create work sites as abstract
 ** intermediary anchor points, to allow clustering of information, command bindings,
 ** presentation state, in the hope this helps to create a distinct, recognisable
 ** _location of ongoing work_ for the user to relate to, to leave and to come back later.
 ** 
 ** @todo WIP 2/2017 early draft / foundations of "interaction control"
 ** 
 ** @see interaction-director.hpp
 ** @see ui-bus.hpp
