/**
 * Interface for classes that can handle and potentially transform a stream of
 * motion and accessibility events. Instances implementing this interface are
 * ordered in a sequence to implement a transformation chain. An instance may
 * consume, modify, and generate events. It is responsible to deliver the
 * output events to the next transformation in the sequence set via
 * {@link #setNext(EventStreamTransformation)}.
 *
 * Note that since instances implementing this interface are transformations
 * of the event stream, an instance should work against the event stream
 * potentially modified by previous ones. Hence, the order of transformations
 * is important.
 *
 * It is a responsibility of each handler that decides to react to an event
 * sequence and prevent any subsequent ones from performing an action to send
 * the appropriate cancel event given it has delegated a part of the events
 * that belong to the current gesture. This will ensure that subsequent
 * transformations will not be left in an inconsistent state and the applications
 * see a consistent event stream.
 *
 * For example, to cancel a {@link KeyEvent} the handler has to emit an event
 * with action {@link KeyEvent#ACTION_UP} with the additional flag
 * {@link KeyEvent#FLAG_CANCELED}. To cancel a {@link MotionEvent} the handler
 * has to send an event with action {@link MotionEvent#ACTION_CANCEL}.
 *
 * It is a responsibility of each handler that received a cancel event to clear its
 * internal state and to propagate the event to the next one to enable subsequent
 * transformations to clear their internal state.
 *
 * It is a responsibility for each transformation to start handling events only
 * after an event that designates the start of a well-formed event sequence.
 * For example, if it received a down motion event followed by a cancel motion
 * event, it should not handle subsequent move and up events until it gets a down.
