The EventListener is an interface that handles events

EventListeners have a rudimentary event handler/dispatcher that
will call a method "onEventName" for an event with name
"EventName"

This is a generic Widget interface

widgets can be queried about their size and can be paint.
that's it for now. Probably we need something more elaborate
later.

if the table that was given to us as parameter has an "init"
method, it will be called. use this to set _instance_ variables
rather than class variables.

Use this method to define a class that's inherited from current class.
It only setup the metabale (or prototype chain) and will not initiatie
a real instance, i.e. call self:init()
