Commited. Thanks!

Added button-flavors as an example. I think that I should add an
utility package for the kind of lispy extensions you mention.

It would not hurt, I guess. Where do you propose to put the docstrings?

As far as lgtk is concerned, adding functionality by hand is only a
temporary solution. I would much prefer to machine-generate bindings
by the ton. I think I have a solution, but I'm not sure that it makes
much sense to add doctrings to that. After all, it is an amazing
shipload of functions & stuff, not all of which is even documented!

On the other hand, I always thought of defbinding & friends as a
facility that would grow beside lgtk until it was mature enough to
stand by itself, and then would get its own project. From that point
of view, docstrings make a lot of sense.

        Mario.
