// TRACES: FR-UI-2 | FR-UI-4
//
// The gesture reference, as a sheet.
//
// # Why the application carries one at all
//
// FR-UI-4: a gesture with no visible counterpart is a feature only its author
// knows about. Most of the grid's vocabulary now has one — Select, "Select to…"
// and Select all are buttons that say what they do — but that a *hold* does the
// same thing faster, or that two fingers resize the thumbnails, could still only
// be discovered by accident. The buttons make the gestures usable; this makes
// them knowable.
//
// # Why the rows come from Rust and not from this file
//
// Every line here is generated from the comment beside the code that implements
// the gesture (`gesture_book.rs`, and `tools/traceability` that writes it). A
// sheet with the text typed into it would be a second description of one
// behaviour, and the second description is always the one that goes stale: the
// code is exercised whenever somebody uses the application, and the help screen
// is exercised never. This file draws whatever it is handed and knows nothing
// about what a gesture is.

// One line of the sheet: a section heading, or a gesture and its routes.
//
// Flat, and not a list of lists, because a sheet whose sections scrolled
// independently is not one list — it is several, in a box. `heading` non-empty
// is what marks the two apart; Slint has no sum type to say it better.
