+/**
+ * Inkscape::EventLog
+ *
+ * A simple log for maintaining a history of commited, undone and redone events along with their
+ * type. It implements the UndoStackObserver and should be registered with a
+ * CompositeUndoStackObserver for each document. The event log is then notified on all commit, undo
+ * and redo events and will store a representation of them in an internal Gtk::TreeStore.
+ *
+ * Consecutive events of the same type are grouped with the first event as a parent and following
+ * as its children.
+ *
+ * If a Gtk::TreeView is connected to the event log, the TreeView's selection and its nodes
+ * expanded/collapsed state will be updated as events are commited, undone and redone. Whenever
+ * this happens, the event log will block the TreeView's callbacks to prevent circular updates.
+ *
