+# = WxRuby Extensions - Keyword Constructors
+# 
+# The *Keyword Constructors* extension allows the use of Ruby hash-style
+# keyword arguments in constructors of common WxWidgets Windows, Frame,
+# Dialog and Control classes.
+# 
+# == Introduction
+#
+# Building a GUI in WxWidgets involves lots of calls to +new+, but
+# these methods often have long parameter lists. Often the default
+# values for many of these parameters are correct. For example, if
+# you're using a sizer-based layout, you usually don't want to specify a
+# size for widgets, but you still have to type
+#  
+#  Wx::TreeCtrl.new( parent, -1, Wx::DEFAULT_POSITION, Wx::DEFAULT_SIZE, 
+#                    Wx::NO_BUTTONS )
+#  
+# just to create a standard TreeCtrl with the 'no buttons' style. If you
+# want to specify the 'NO BUTTONS' style, you can't avoid all the typing
+# of DEFAULT_POSITION etc.
+#
+# == Basic Keyword Constructors
+# 
+# With keyword_constructors, you could write the above as
+# 
+#  TreeCtrl.new(parent, :style => Wx::NO_BUTTONS)
+# 
+# And it will assume you want the default id (-1), and the default size
+# and position. If you want to specify an explicit size, you can do so:
+#
+#  TreeCtrl.new(parent, :size => Wx::Size.new(100, 300))
+# 
+# For brevity, this module also allows you to specify positions and
+# sizes using a a two-element array:
+#  
+#  TreeCtrl.new(parent, :size => [100, 300])
+#
+# Similarly with position:
+#
+#  TreeCtrl.new(parent, :pos => Wx::Point.new(5, 25))
+#
+#  TreeCtrl.new(parent, :pos => [5, 25])
+#
+# You can have multiple keyword arguments:
+#
+#  TreeCtrl.new(parent, :pos => [5, 25], :size => [100, 300] )
+#
+# == No ID required
+# 
+# As with position and size, you usually don't want to deal with
+# assigning unique ids to every widget and frame you create - it's a C++
+# hangover that often seems clunky in Ruby. The *Event Connectors*
+# extension allows you to set up event handling without having to use
+# ids, and if no :id argument is supplied to a constructor, the default
+# (-1) will be passed.
+#
+# There are occasions when a specific ID does need to be used - for
+# example, to tell WxWidgets that a button is a 'stock' item, so that it
+# can be displayed using platform-standard text and icon. To do this,
+# simply pass an :id argument to the constructor - here, the system's
+# standard 'preview' button
+#
+#  Wx::Button.new(parent, :id => Wx::ID_PREVIEW) 
+#
+# == Class-specific arguments
+# 
+# The arguments :size, :pos and :style are common to many WxWidgets
+# window classes. The +new+ methods of these classes also have
+# parameters that are specific to those classes; for example, the text
+# label on a button, or the initial value of a text control.
+# 
+#  Wx::Button.new(parent, :label => 'press me')
+#  Wx::TextCtrl.new(parent, :value => 'type some text here')
+#
+# The keyword names of these arguments can be found by looking at the
+# WxRuby documentation, in the relevant class's +new+ method. You can
+# also get a string description of the class's +new+ method parameters
+# within Ruby by doing:
+# 
+#  puts Wx::TextCtrl.describe_constructor()
+# 
+# This will print a list of the argument names expected by the class's
+# +new+ method, and the correct type for them.
+#
+# == Mixing positional and keyword arguments
+#
+# To support existing code, and to avoid forcing the use of more verbose
+# keyword-style arguments where they're not desired, you can mix
+# positional and keyword arguments, omitting or including +id+s as
+# desired.
+#
+#  Wx::Button.new(parent, 'press me', :style => Wx::BU_RIGHT)
