+ * Widget handles:
+ * - Rendering with QWeb.
+ * - Life-cycle management and parenting (when a parent is destroyed, all its children are
+ *     destroyed too).
+ * - Insertion in DOM.
+ *
+ * Guide to create implementations of the Widget class:
+ * ==============================================
+ *
+ * Here is a sample child class:
+ *
+ * MyWidget = instance.base.Widget.extend({
+ *     // the name of the QWeb template to use for rendering
+ *     template: "MyQWebTemplate",
+ *
+ *     init: function(parent) {
+ *         this._super(parent);
+ *         // stuff that you want to init before the rendering
+ *     },
+ *     start: function() {
+ *         // stuff you want to make after the rendering, `this.$el` holds a correct value
+ *         this.$el.find(".my_button").click(/* an example of event binding * /);
+ *
+ *         // if you have some asynchronous operations, it's a good idea to return
+ *         // a promise in start()
+ *         var promise = this.rpc(...);
+ *         return promise;
+ *     }
+ * });
+ *
+ * Now this class can simply be used with the following syntax:
+ *
+ * var my_widget = new MyWidget(this);
+ * my_widget.appendTo($(".some-div"));
+ *
+ * With these two lines, the MyWidget instance was inited, rendered, it was inserted into the
+ * DOM inside the ".some-div" div and its events were binded.
+ *
+ * And of course, when you don't need that widget anymore, just do:
+ *
+ * my_widget.destroy();
+ *
+ * That will kill the widget in a clean way and erase its content from the dom.
