  // The methods in this class provide a way to pass signals to the GUI
  // thread.  A GUI that wishes to act on these events should derive
  // from this class and perform actions in a thread-safe way.  In
  // Octave's Qt-based GUI, for example, these functions are all
  // implemented as wrappers around Qt signals that trigger actions in
  // the GUI.  The Qt signal/slot mechanism ensures that the actions are
  // properly queued for execution when the objects corresponding to the
  // signal and slot belong to different threads.
  //
  // These functions should not be called directly.  Instead all
  // requests from the interpreter for GUI actions should be done
  // through the event_manager class.  That class checks to ensure that
  // the GUI is connected and enabled before calling these virtual
  // functions.

  // FIXME: it would be nice if instead of requiring the GUI to derive
  // from this class, it could subscribe to individual events, possibly
  // multiple times.  In that way, it would be more flexible and
  // decentralized, similar to the Qt signal/slot connection mechanism
  // and would allow the GUI to connect multiple signals to a single
  // action or multiple actions to a single signal.

  // FIXME: audit this list of functions and determine whether they are
  // all necessary and whether there might be better names for them.
