//Policy: It is forbidden for systems/channels to install
//        eventhandlers or to set flags on QGraphicsItems!!!!!
//
//  Each item is marked as either ACTIVE or PASSIVE [+movable]
//  (internally an ic knows whether it has any active items at all of
//  course). An IC can be in exactly one of the following modes,
//  governing how its active items respond (this state is set at
//  initialisation by the system and is not changeable later - if so,
//  warn if INACTIVE system has active elements and vice versa?):
//
//  INERT, SINGLEPICKS, SINGLEEVENTS, SELECTIONS (+UNSET)
//
//  It must be set BEFORE a scene is attached for the first time.
//
//  Furthermore, each IC has a temporary ignore state, which makes it
//  temporarily work (i.e. respond to questions such as "is this item
//  presently active") just as if it was inert
//
//
//  In graphicsview: Any click or event gets passed to the topmost
//                   active item in a non-inert system.
//
//  If there was a previous selection:
//      If the new item is not in the same IC as the previous selection: clear selection.
//      Else: If shift was down: Add to selection. Else: Set selection to the new item.
//
//  Future: Special selection tool which lets you draw a path and select anything inside it (needs to know which system it is selecting from)
//
// Any change of selection or occurrence of picks/events makes the GV ask the appropriate IC to emit a signal.
