236 Merging widgets might work to. B-)
237
238 Parameter gets a type, which might help since Lua is untyped, versus Java being strongly typed.
239 Widgets get a type as well, which would be label, button, edit, grid, etc.
240 A grid could even have sub types - grid,number,string,button,date. B-)
241
242 Required commands makes no sense, but can just be ignored.
243 A required widget might mean that the window HAS to have one.
244
245 Default for a command would be the actual function.
246 Default being a function makes this Thing a command.
247 Default for a widget could be the default creation arguments - '"Press me", 1, 1, 10, 50'
248
249 Or we could merge the other way -
250 Each Thing has names (including shortcuts and aliases), type, required, widget default arguments, default value, function, help text.
