/// A coordination mechanism to clearly define the *injecting* of pointer events
/// into the scene (injection policy, injection context, etc), for *dispatching*
/// pointer events to UI clients (referenced by |fuchsia.ui.views.ViewRef|).
///
/// NOTE WELL! ONLY COMPONENTS IN THE TRUSTED COMPUTING BASE SHOULD BE GRANTED
///            ACCESS TO THIS PROTOCOL.
/// (1) The injector acts with the user's authority. UI clients cannot tell the
///     difference between a real user and an injector.
/// (2) The defined context is self-specified by the injector. An injector that
///     gains access to a sensitive context will operate in that scope.
/// (3) The injected events may be arbitrary. An injector can inject whatever
///     it wants to the clients it can reach.
///
/// This protocol sets up the defined context for an |Injector|, and directs the
/// |Injector| at a target. These parameters are set up in the |InjectorConfig|.
/// An |Injector| may *inject* pointer events on the specified target in the
/// scene, but the *dispatch* of pointer events to UI clients will depend on the
/// dispatch policy and the scene topology.
///
/// An |Injector| operates within a defined context; it serves two purposes:
/// (1) Scoping. It confirms the |Injector|'s ability to inject pointer events
///     on the specified target.
/// (2) Coordinate System. It provides the reference coordinate space to
///     interpret injected pointer events.
///
/// Guarantees. An |Injector| is directed at a specified target in the scene,
/// and such a target is afforded some guarantees against snooping and
/// interference from UI clients outside the target's view tree ("non-target
/// clients").  Non-target clients never have injected events dispatched to
/// them: an |Injector| preserves *confidentiality* for target clients.
/// Non-target clients never block injected events from reaching the target on
/// injection, or from reaching target clients on dispatch: an |Injector|
/// preserves *integrity* and *availability* for target clients.  However, the
/// |Injector| itself is subject to disruption by ancestor views of the target
/// (see connectivity invariant, below).
///
/// Note. This protocol, and its policies, are *not* a sufficient guard against
///       UI redress attacks! The confidentiality, integrity, and availability
///       guarantees apply only with respect to non-target clients. Within a
///       target, UI redress attacks can still happen, between target clients.
///
/// Connectivity invariant.  An |Injector| operates in a stable view tree that
/// is connected to the root view.  When either the target, or both context and
/// target, are disconnected from the view tree by a UI client, the |Injector|
/// channel is closed.  If an event stream was in flight, the server dispatches
/// a final CANCEL event following channel closure; this CANCEL event is then
/// propagated according to dispatch policy.
