List/Tree Widget

(For the time being the focus will be on lists, not heirarchical trees.

The tricky part of a list controller/view is that you have a controller/view on a sequence. You need to figure out:

1. How to communicate requests for changes to the sequence
2. What those requests are
3. How to communicate a change in the visible portion of the sequence to the view

We assume the sequences in a list are disjoint.

Typedefs

Assume for the time being that the model_type is simple:

 typedef std::vector<std::string>      model_type;
 typedef model_type::iterator          iterator;
 typedef std::pair<iterator, iterator> sequence_type;
