// A signal method attached to nodes and text.

// Continuation of the debate in the "dom" tests at the end of the signal.js
// gist, at https://gist.github.com/dfkaye/fe7b210c62b82faf4bffd5092dd41653.

// If a signal change updates a node property, it turns out there are several
// co-dependencies to manage - meaning, we have to update other content
// properties manually.

// control.target.js

// Control is a constructor with an EventTarget field that manages events and
// listeners of different types (so we don't have to).

// Compare with control.signal.js at https://gist.github.com/dfkaye/8701a2d416556aab68da7519b2c5429a

// Prototype adds decorator API for adding, removing, and dispatching events.

// control.signal.js

// Control is a constructor with a 'signal' Map containing different 'types' of 
// event callbacks.

// Similar to EventTarget, but that's coming in the next post at

// A signal implementation as a "reactive-observable" value with listeners and

// This is not equivalent to the ReactJS hooks pattern or SolidJS signals.

// We're looking for a way to make nested data reactive so we notify changes by
// paths in the structure... the usual pipedream...

// In progress... may delete and start over... may just blog about the
// philosophical confusion that Signals have generated in the web
// development world, something easily sewn...

// Signal, an implementation that accepts a name for itself,
// and an optional `assign` method for binding the signal to
// a parent object (a feature which has little to do with the
// nature of Signals...)
