/**
  \class Fl_Button
  \brief Buttons generate callbacks when they are clicked by the user.
  
  You control exactly when and how by changing the values for type() and
  when().  Buttons can also generate callbacks in response to \c FL_SHORTCUT
  events.  The button can either have an explicit shortcut(int s) value or a
  letter shortcut can be indicated in the label() with an '\&' character
  before it.  For the label shortcut it does not matter if \e Alt is held
  down, but if you have an input field in the same window, the user will have
  to hold down the \e Alt key so that the input field does not eat the event
  first as an \c FL_KEYBOARD event.

  \todo Refactor the doxygen comments for Fl_Button type() documentation.

  For an Fl_Button object, the type() call returns one of:
  \li \c FL_NORMAL_BUTTON (0): value() remains unchanged after button press.
  \li \c FL_TOGGLE_BUTTON: value() is inverted after button press.
  \li \c FL_RADIO_BUTTON: value() is set to 1 after button press, and all other
         buttons in the current group with <tt>type() == FL_RADIO_BUTTON</tt>
	 are set to zero.

  \todo Refactor the doxygen comments for Fl_Button when() documentation.

  For an Fl_Button object, the following when() values are useful, the default
  being \c FL_WHEN_RELEASE:
  \li \c 0: The callback is not done, instead changed() is turned on.
  \li \c FL_WHEN_RELEASE: The callback is done after the user successfully
         clicks the button, or when a shortcut is typed.
  \li \c FL_WHEN_CHANGED: The callback is done each time the value() changes
         (when the user pushes and releases the button, and as the mouse is
	 dragged around in and out of the button).

    The value is a bitwise OR of a key and a set of shift flags, for example:
    <tt>FL_ALT | 'a'</tt>, or
    <tt>FL_ALT | (FL_F + 10)</tt>, or just
    <tt>'a'</tt>.
    A value of 0 disables the shortcut.

    The key can be any value returned by Fl::event_key(), but will usually be
    an ASCII letter.  Use a lower-case letter unless you require the shift key
    to be held down.

    The shift flags can be any set of values accepted by Fl::event_state().
    If the bit is on, that shift key must be pushed.  Meta, Alt, Ctrl, and
    Shift must be off if they are not in the shift flags (zero for the other
    bits indicates a "don't care" setting).
