+/**
+ * Class representing a generic input event as handled by Latin IME.
+ *
+ * This contains information about the origin of the event, but it is generalized and should
+ * represent a software keypress, hardware keypress, or d-pad move alike.
+ * Very importantly, this does not necessarily result in inputting one character, or even anything
+ * at all - it may be a dead key, it may be a partial input, it may be a special key on the
+ * keyboard, it may be a cancellation of a keypress (e.g. in a soft keyboard the finger of the
+ * user has slid out of the key), etc. It may also be a batch input from a gesture or handwriting
+ * for example.
+ * The combiner should figure out what to do with this.
