//! Widget signals
//!
//! Signals are a way for widgets to send [messages][crate::messenger] to the RAUI
//! [`Application`][crate::application::Application]. This can be used to create custom integrations
//! with the RAUI host or rendering backend.
//!
//! Signals may be sent using the [`SignalSender`] in the widget [change context][change_context] or
//! [unmount context][unmount_context].
//!
//! [change_context]: crate::widget::context::WidgetMountOrChangeContext
//!
//! [unmount_context]: crate::widget::context::WidgetUnmountContext
