/**
 * Helper class for attaching/detaching handlers for Vaadin client side
 * components, based on identifiers in UIDL. Helpers expect Paintables to be
 * both listeners and sources for events. This helper cannot be used for more
 * complex widgets.
 * <p>
 * Possible current registration is given as parameter. The returned
 * registration (possibly the same as given, should be store for next update.
 * <p>
 * Pseudocode what helpers do:
 * 
 * <pre>
 * 
 * if paintable has event listener in UIDL
 *      if registration is null
 *              register paintable as as handler for event
 *      return the registration
 * else 
 *      if registration is not null
 *              remove the handler from paintable
 *      return null
 * 
 * 
 * </pre>
