/// consider using [StatefulWidget].
///
/// ## Performance considerations
///
/// The [build] method of a stateless widget is typically only called in three
/// situations: the first time the widget is inserted in the tree, when the
/// widget's parent changes its configuration, and when an [InheritedWidget] it
/// depends on changes.
///
/// If a widget's parent will regularly change the widget's configuration, or if
/// it depends on inherited widgets that frequently change, then it is important
/// to optimize the performance of the [build] method to maintain a fluid
/// rendering performance.
///
/// There are several techniques one can use to minimize the impact of
/// rebuilding a stateless widget:
///
/// * Minimize the number of nodes transitively created by the build method and
/// any widgets it creates. For example, instead of an elaborate arrangement
/// of [Row]s, [Column]s, [Padding]s, and [SizedBox]es to position a single
/// child in a particularly fancy manner, consider using just an [Align] or a
/// [CustomSingleChildLayout]. Instead of an intricate layering of multiple
/// [Container]s and with [Decoration]s to draw just the right graphical
/// effect, consider a single [CustomPaint] widget.
///
/// * Use `const` widgets where possible, and provide a `const` constructor for
/// the widget so that users of the widget can also do so.
///
/// * Consider refactoring the stateless widget into a stateful widget so that
/// it can use some of the techniques described at [StatefulWidget], such as
/// caching common parts of subtrees and using [GlobalKey]s when changing the
/// tree structure.
///
/// * If the widget is likely to get rebuilt frequently due to the use of
/// [InheritedWidget]s, consider refactoring the stateless widget into
/// multiple widgets, with the parts of the tree that change being pushed to
/// the leaves. For example instead of building a tree with four widgets, the
/// inner-most widget depending on the [Theme], consider factoring out the
/// part of the build function that builds the inner-most widget into its own
/// widget, so that only the inner-most widget needs to be rebuilt when the
/// theme changes.
/// {@template flutter.flutter.widgets.framework.prefer_const_over_helper}
/// * When trying to create a reusable piece of UI, prefer using a widget
/// rather than a helper method. For example, if there was a function used to
/// build a widget, a [State.setState] call would require Flutter to entirely
/// rebuild the returned wrapping widget. If a [Widget] was used instead,
/// Flutter would be able to efficiently re-render only those parts that
/// really need to be updated. Even better, if the created widget is `const`,
/// Flutter would short-circuit most of the rebuild work.

///
/// {@youtube 560 315 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqCMFXEmf3w}
///
/// [StatefulWidget] instances themselves are immutable and store their mutable

/// [createState] method, or in objects to which that [State] subscribes, for
/// example [Stream] or [ChangeNotifier] objects, to which references are stored
/// in final fields on the [StatefulWidget] itself.
///
/// The framework calls [createState] whenever it inflates a
/// [StatefulWidget], which means that multiple [State] objects might be
/// associated with the same [StatefulWidget] if that widget has been inserted
/// into the tree in multiple places. Similarly, if a [StatefulWidget] is
/// removed from the tree and later inserted in to the tree again, the framework
/// will call [createState] again to create a fresh [State] object, simplifying
/// the lifecycle of [State] objects.
///
/// A [StatefulWidget] keeps the same [State] object when moving from one
/// location in the tree to another if its creator used a [GlobalKey] for its
/// [key]. Because a widget with a [GlobalKey] can be used in at most one
/// location in the tree, a widget that uses a [GlobalKey] has at most one
/// associated element. The framework takes advantage of this property when
/// moving a widget with a global key from one location in the tree to another
/// by grafting the (unique) subtree associated with that widget from the old
/// location to the new location (instead of recreating the subtree at the new
/// location). The [State] objects associated with [StatefulWidget] are grafted
/// along with the rest of the subtree, which means the [State] object is reused
/// (instead of being recreated) in the new location. However, in order to be
/// eligible for grafting, the widget must be inserted into the new location in
/// the same animation frame in which it was removed from the old location.
///
/// ## Performance considerations
///
/// There are two primary categories of [StatefulWidget]s.
///
/// The first is one which allocates resources in [State.initState] and disposes
/// of them in [State.dispose], but which does not depend on [InheritedWidget]s
/// or call [State.setState]. Such widgets are commonly used at the root of an
/// application or page, and communicate with subwidgets via [ChangeNotifier]s,
/// [Stream]s, or other such objects. Stateful widgets following such a pattern
/// are relatively cheap (in terms of CPU and GPU cycles), because they are
/// built once then never update. They can, therefore, have somewhat complicated
/// and deep build methods.
///
/// The second category is widgets that use [State.setState] or depend on
/// [InheritedWidget]s. These will typically rebuild many times during the
/// application's lifetime, and it is therefore important to minimize the impact
/// of rebuilding such a widget. (They may also use [State.initState] or
/// [State.didChangeDependencies] and allocate resources, but the important part
/// is that they rebuild.)
///
/// There are several techniques one can use to minimize the impact of
/// rebuilding a stateful widget:
///
/// * Push the state to the leaves. For example, if your page has a ticking
/// clock, rather than putting the state at the top of the page and
/// rebuilding the entire page each time the clock ticks, create a dedicated
/// clock widget that only updates itself.
///
/// * Minimize the number of nodes transitively created by the build method and
/// any widgets it creates. Ideally, a stateful widget would only create a
/// single widget, and that widget would be a [RenderObjectWidget].
/// (Obviously this isn't always practical, but the closer a widget gets to
/// this ideal, the more efficient it will be.)
///
/// * If a subtree does not change, cache the widget that represents that
/// subtree and re-use it each time it can be used. To do this, assign
/// a widget to a `final` state variable and re-use it in the build method. It
/// is massively more efficient for a widget to be re-used than for a new (but
/// identically-configured) widget to be created. Another caching strategy
/// consists in extracting the mutable part of the widget into a [StatefulWidget]
/// which accepts a child parameter.
///
/// * Use `const` widgets where possible. (This is equivalent to caching a
/// widget and re-using it.)
///
/// * Avoid changing the depth of any created subtrees or changing the type of
/// any widgets in the subtree. For example, rather than returning either the
/// child or the child wrapped in an [IgnorePointer], always wrap the child
/// widget in an [IgnorePointer] and control the [IgnorePointer.ignoring]
/// property. This is because changing the depth of the subtree requires
/// rebuilding, laying out, and painting the entire subtree, whereas just
/// changing the property will require the least possible change to the
/// render tree (in the case of [IgnorePointer], for example, no layout or
/// repaint is necessary at all).
///
/// * If the depth must be changed for some reason, consider wrapping the
/// common parts of the subtrees in widgets that have a [GlobalKey] that
/// remains consistent for the life of the stateful widget. (The
/// [KeyedSubtree] widget may be useful for this purpose if no other widget
/// can conveniently be assigned the key.)

/// [State] objects are created by the framework by calling the

/// again, the framework will call [StatefulWidget.createState] again to create
/// a fresh [State] object, simplifying the lifecycle of [State] objects.
///
/// [State] objects have the following lifecycle:
///
/// * The framework creates a [State] object by calling
/// [StatefulWidget.createState].
/// * The newly created [State] object is associated with a [BuildContext].
/// This association is permanent: the [State] object will never change its
/// [BuildContext]. However, the [BuildContext] itself can be moved around
/// the tree along with its subtree. At this point, the [State] object is
/// considered [mounted].
/// * The framework calls [initState]. Subclasses of [State] should override
/// [initState] to perform one-time initialization that depends on the
/// [BuildContext] or the widget, which are available as the [context] and
/// [widget] properties, respectively, when the [initState] method is
/// called.
/// * The framework calls [didChangeDependencies]. Subclasses of [State] should
/// override [didChangeDependencies] to perform initialization involving
/// [InheritedWidget]s. If [BuildContext.dependOnInheritedWidgetOfExactType] is
/// called, the [didChangeDependencies] method will be called again if the
/// inherited widgets subsequently change or if the widget moves in the tree.
/// * At this point, the [State] object is fully initialized and the framework
/// might call its [build] method any number of times to obtain a
/// description of the user interface for this subtree. [State] objects can
/// spontaneously request to rebuild their subtree by calling their
/// [setState] method, which indicates that some of their internal state
/// has changed in a way that might impact the user interface in this
/// subtree.
/// * During this time, a parent widget might rebuild and request that this
/// location in the tree update to display a new widget with the same
/// [runtimeType] and [Widget.key]. When this happens, the framework will
/// update the [widget] property to refer to the new widget and then call the
/// [didUpdateWidget] method with the previous widget as an argument. [State]
/// objects should override [didUpdateWidget] to respond to changes in their
/// associated widget (e.g., to start implicit animations). The framework
/// always calls [build] after calling [didUpdateWidget], which means any
/// calls to [setState] in [didUpdateWidget] are redundant.
/// * During development, if a hot reload occurs (whether initiated from the
/// command line `flutter` tool by pressing `r`, or from an IDE), the
/// [reassemble] method is called. This provides an opportunity to
/// reinitialize any data that was prepared in the [initState] method.
/// * If the subtree containing the [State] object is removed from the tree
/// (e.g., because the parent built a widget with a different [runtimeType]
/// or [Widget.key]), the framework calls the [deactivate] method. Subclasses
/// should override this method to clean up any links between this object
/// and other elements in the tree (e.g. if you have provided an ancestor
/// with a pointer to a descendant's [RenderObject]).
/// * At this point, the framework might reinsert this subtree into another
/// part of the tree. If that happens, the framework will ensure that it
/// calls [build] to give the [State] object a chance to adapt to its new
/// location in the tree. If the framework does reinsert this subtree, it
/// will do so before the end of the animation frame in which the subtree was
/// removed from the tree. For this reason, [State] objects can defer
/// releasing most resources until the framework calls their [dispose]
/// method.
/// * If the framework does not reinsert this subtree by the end of the current
/// animation frame, the framework will call [dispose], which indicates that
/// this [State] object will never build again. Subclasses should override
/// this method to release any resources retained by this object (e.g.,
/// stop any active animations).
/// * After the framework calls [dispose], the [State] object is considered
/// unmounted and the [mounted] property is false. It is an error to call

///
/// ## Design discussion
///
/// ### Why is the [build] method on [State], and not [StatefulWidget]?
///
/// Putting a `Widget build(BuildContext context)` method on [State] rather
/// than putting a `Widget build(BuildContext context, State state)` method
/// on [StatefulWidget] gives developers more flexibility when subclassing
/// [StatefulWidget].
///
/// For example, [AnimatedWidget] is a subclass of [StatefulWidget] that
/// introduces an abstract `Widget build(BuildContext context)` method for its
/// subclasses to implement. If [StatefulWidget] already had a [build] method
/// that took a [State] argument, [AnimatedWidget] would be forced to provide
/// its [State] object to subclasses even though its [State] object is an
/// internal implementation detail of [AnimatedWidget].
///
/// Conceptually, [StatelessWidget] could also be implemented as a subclass of
/// [StatefulWidget] in a similar manner. If the [build] method were on
/// [StatefulWidget] rather than [State], that would not be possible anymore.
///
/// Putting the [build] function on [State] rather than [StatefulWidget] also
/// helps avoid a category of bugs related to closures implicitly capturing
/// `this`. If you defined a closure in a [build] function on a
/// [StatefulWidget], that closure would implicitly capture `this`, which is
/// the current widget instance, and would have the (immutable) fields of that
/// instance in scope:
///
/// ```dart
/// // (this is not valid Flutter code)
/// class MyButton extends StatefulWidgetX {
/// MyButton({super.key, required this.color});
///
/// final Color color;
///
/// @override
/// Widget build(BuildContext context, State state) {
/// return SpecialWidget(
/// handler: () { print('color: $color'); },
/// );
/// }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// For example, suppose the parent builds `MyButton` with `color` being blue,
/// the `$color` in the print function refers to blue, as expected. Now,
/// suppose the parent rebuilds `MyButton` with green. The closure created by
/// the first build still implicitly refers to the original widget and the
/// `$color` still prints blue even through the widget has been updated to
/// green; should that closure outlive its widget, it would print outdated
/// information.
///
/// In contrast, with the [build] function on the [State] object, closures
/// created during [build] implicitly capture the [State] instance instead of
/// the widget instance:
///
/// ```dart
/// class MyButton extends StatefulWidget {
/// const MyButton({super.key, this.color = Colors.teal});
///
/// final Color color;
/// // ...
/// }
///
/// class MyButtonState extends State<MyButton> {
/// // ...
/// @override
/// Widget build(BuildContext context) {
/// return SpecialWidget(
/// handler: () { print('color: ${widget.color}'); },
/// );
/// }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Now when the parent rebuilds `MyButton` with green, the closure created by
/// the first build still refers to [State] object, which is preserved across
/// rebuilds, but the framework has updated that [State] object's [widget]
/// property to refer to the new `MyButton` instance and `${widget.color}`
/// prints green, as expected.

/// class FrogColor extends InheritedWidget {
/// const FrogColor({

///
/// ## Implementing the `of` and `maybeOf` methods
///
/// The convention is to provide two static methods, `of` and `maybeOf`, on the
/// [InheritedWidget] which call
/// [BuildContext.dependOnInheritedWidgetOfExactType]. This allows the class to
/// define its own fallback logic in case there isn't a widget in scope.
///
/// The `of` method typically returns a non-nullable instance and asserts if the
/// [InheritedWidget] isn't found, and the `maybeOf` method returns a nullable
/// instance, and returns null if the [InheritedWidget] isn't found. The `of`
/// method is typically implemented by calling `maybeOf` internally.
///
/// Sometimes, the `of` and `maybeOf` methods return some data rather than the
/// inherited widget itself; for example, in this case it could have returned a
/// [Color] instead of the `FrogColor` widget.
///
/// Occasionally, the inherited widget is an implementation detail of another
/// class, and is therefore private. The `of` and `maybeOf` methods in that case
/// are typically implemented on the public class instead. For example, [Theme]
/// is implemented as a [StatelessWidget] that builds a private inherited
/// widget; [Theme.of] looks for that private inherited widget using
/// [BuildContext.dependOnInheritedWidgetOfExactType] and then returns the
/// [ThemeData] inside it.
///
/// ## Calling the `of` or `maybeOf` methods
///
/// When using the `of` or `maybeOf` methods, the `context` must be a descendant
/// of the [InheritedWidget], meaning it must be "below" the [InheritedWidget]
/// in the tree.
///
/// {@tool snippet}

/// Some static functions (e.g. [showDialog], [Theme.of], and so forth) also
/// take build contexts so that they can act on behalf of the calling widget, or

///
/// Each widget has its own [BuildContext], which becomes the parent of the
/// widget returned by the [StatelessWidget.build] or [State.build] function.
/// (And similarly, the parent of any children for [RenderObjectWidget]s.)
///
/// In particular, this means that within a build method, the build context of
/// the widget of the build method is not the same as the build context of the
/// widgets returned by that build method. This can lead to some tricky cases.
/// For example, [Theme.of(context)] looks for the nearest enclosing [Theme] of
/// the given build context. If a build method for a widget Q includes a [Theme]
/// within its returned widget tree, and attempts to use [Theme.of] passing its
/// own context, the build method for Q will not find that [Theme] object. It
/// will instead find whatever [Theme] was an ancestor to the widget Q. If the
/// build context for a subpart of the returned tree is needed, a [Builder]
/// widget can be used: the build context passed to the [Builder.builder]
/// callback will be that of the [Builder] itself.
///
/// For example, in the following snippet, the [ScaffoldState.showBottomSheet]
/// method is called on the [Scaffold] widget that the build method itself
/// creates. If a [Builder] had not been used, and instead the `context`
/// argument of the build method itself had been used, no [Scaffold] would have
/// been found, and the [Scaffold.of] function would have returned null.
///
/// ```dart
/// @override
/// Widget build(BuildContext context) {
/// // here, Scaffold.of(context) returns null
/// return Scaffold(
/// appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('Demo')),

/// Widgets describe how to configure a subtree but the same widget can be used

/// An [Element] represents the use of a widget to configure a specific location
/// in the tree. Over time, the widget associated with a given element can
/// change, for example, if the parent widget rebuilds and creates a new widget
/// for this location.
///
/// Elements form a tree. Most elements have a unique child, but some widgets
/// (e.g., subclasses of [RenderObjectElement]) can have multiple children.
///
/// Elements have the following lifecycle:
///
/// * The framework creates an element by calling [Widget.createElement] on the
/// widget that will be used as the element's initial configuration.
/// * The framework calls [mount] to add the newly created element to the tree
/// at a given slot in a given parent. The [mount] method is responsible for
/// inflating any child widgets and calling [attachRenderObject] as
/// necessary to attach any associated render objects to the render tree.
/// * At this point, the element is considered "active" and might appear on
/// screen.
/// * At some point, the parent might decide to change the widget used to
/// configure this element, for example because the parent rebuilt with new
/// state. When this happens, the framework will call [update] with the new
/// widget. The new widget will always have the same [runtimeType] and key as
/// old widget. If the parent wishes to change the [runtimeType] or key of
/// the widget at this location in the tree, it can do so by unmounting this
/// element and inflating the new widget at this location.
/// * At some point, an ancestor might decide to remove this element (or an
/// intermediate ancestor) from the tree, which the ancestor does by calling
/// [deactivateChild] on itself. Deactivating the intermediate ancestor will
/// remove that element's render object from the render tree and add this
/// element to the [owner]'s list of inactive elements, causing the framework
/// to call [deactivate] on this element.
/// * At this point, the element is considered "inactive" and will not appear
/// on screen. An element can remain in the inactive state only until
/// the end of the current animation frame. At the end of the animation
/// frame, any elements that are still inactive will be unmounted.
/// * If the element gets reincorporated into the tree (e.g., because it or one
/// of its ancestors has a global key that is reused), the framework will
/// remove the element from the [owner]'s list of inactive elements, call
/// [activate] on the element, and reattach the element's render object to
/// the render tree. (At this point, the element is again considered "active"
/// and might appear on screen.)
/// * If the element does not get reincorporated into the tree by the end of
/// the current animation frame, the framework will call [unmount] on the
/// element.
/// * At this point, the element is considered "defunct" and will not be
/// incorporated into the tree in the future.

/// An [Element] that uses a [RenderObjectWidget] as its configuration.

/// the render tree, which handles concrete operations like laying out,
/// painting, and hit testing.
///
/// Contrast with [ComponentElement].
///
/// For details on the lifecycle of an element, see the discussion at [Element].
///
/// ## Writing a RenderObjectElement subclass
///
/// There are three common child models used by most [RenderObject]s:
///
/// * Leaf render objects, with no children: The [LeafRenderObjectElement] class
/// handles this case.
///
/// * A single child: The [SingleChildRenderObjectElement] class handles this
/// case.
///
/// * A linked list of children: The [MultiChildRenderObjectElement] class
/// handles this case.
///
/// Sometimes, however, a render object's child model is more complicated. Maybe
/// it has a two-dimensional array of children. Maybe it constructs children on
/// demand. Maybe it features multiple lists. In such situations, the
/// corresponding [Element] for the [Widget] that configures that [RenderObject]
/// will be a new subclass of [RenderObjectElement].
///
/// Such a subclass is responsible for managing children, specifically the
/// [Element] children of this object, and the [RenderObject] children of its
/// corresponding [RenderObject].
///
/// ### Specializing the getters
///
/// [RenderObjectElement] objects spend much of their time acting as
/// intermediaries between their [widget] and their [renderObject]. It is
/// generally recommended against specializing the [widget] getter and
/// instead casting at the various call sites to avoid adding overhead
/// outside of this particular implementation.
///
/// ```dart
/// class FooElement extends RenderObjectElement {
/// FooElement(super.widget);
///
/// // Specializing the renderObject getter is fine because
/// // it is not performance sensitive.
/// @override
/// RenderFoo get renderObject => super.renderObject as RenderFoo;
///
/// void _foo() {
/// // For the widget getter, though, we prefer to cast locally
/// // since that results in better overall performance where the
/// // casting isn't needed:
/// final Foo foo = widget as Foo;
/// // ...
/// }
///
/// // ...
/// }
/// ```
///
/// ### Slots
///
/// Each child [Element] corresponds to a [RenderObject] which should be
/// attached to this element's render object as a child.
///
/// However, the immediate children of the element may not be the ones that
/// eventually produce the actual [RenderObject] that they correspond to. For
/// example, a [StatelessElement] (the element of a [StatelessWidget])
/// corresponds to whatever [RenderObject] its child (the element returned by
/// its [StatelessWidget.build] method) corresponds to.
///
/// Each child is therefore assigned a _[slot]_ token. This is an identifier whose
/// meaning is private to this [RenderObjectElement] node. When the descendant
/// that finally produces the [RenderObject] is ready to attach it to this
/// node's render object, it passes that slot token back to this node, and that
/// allows this node to cheaply identify where to put the child render object
/// relative to the others in the parent render object.
///
/// A child's [slot] is determined when the parent calls [updateChild] to
/// inflate the child (see the next section). It can be updated by calling
/// [updateSlotForChild].
///
/// ### Updating children
///
/// Early in the lifecycle of an element, the framework calls the [mount]
/// method. This method should call [updateChild] for each child, passing in
/// the widget for that child, and the slot for that child, thus obtaining a
/// list of child [Element]s.
///
/// Subsequently, the framework will call the [update] method. In this method,
/// the [RenderObjectElement] should call [updateChild] for each child, passing
/// in the [Element] that was obtained during [mount] or the last time [update]
/// was run (whichever happened most recently), the new [Widget], and the slot.
/// This provides the object with a new list of [Element] objects.
///
/// Where possible, the [update] method should attempt to map the elements from
/// the last pass to the widgets in the new pass. For example, if one of the
/// elements from the last pass was configured with a particular [Key], and one
/// of the widgets in this new pass has that same key, they should be paired up,
/// and the old element should be updated with the widget (and the slot
/// corresponding to the new widget's new position, also). The [updateChildren]
/// method may be useful in this regard.
///
/// [updateChild] should be called for children in their logical order. The
/// order can matter; for example, if two of the children use [PageStorage]'s
/// `writeState` feature in their build method (and neither has a [Widget.key]),
/// then the state written by the first will be overwritten by the second.
///
/// #### Dynamically determining the children during the build phase
///
/// The child widgets need not necessarily come from this element's widget
/// verbatim. They could be generated dynamically from a callback, or generated
/// in other more creative ways.
///
/// #### Dynamically determining the children during layout
///
/// If the widgets are to be generated at layout time, then generating them in
/// the [mount] and [update] methods won't work: layout of this element's render
/// object hasn't started yet at that point. Instead, the [update] method can
/// mark the render object as needing layout (see
/// [RenderObject.markNeedsLayout]), and then the render object's
/// [RenderObject.performLayout] method can call back to the element to have it
/// generate the widgets and call [updateChild] accordingly.
///
/// For a render object to call an element during layout, it must use
/// [RenderObject.invokeLayoutCallback]. For an element to call [updateChild]
/// outside of its [update] method, it must use [BuildOwner.buildScope].
///
/// The framework provides many more checks in normal operation than it does
/// when doing a build during layout. For this reason, creating widgets with
/// layout-time build semantics should be done with great care.
///
/// #### Handling errors when building
///
/// If an element calls a builder function to obtain widgets for its children,
/// it may find that the build throws an exception. Such exceptions should be
/// caught and reported using [FlutterError.reportError]. If a child is needed
/// but a builder has failed in this way, an instance of [ErrorWidget] can be
/// used instead.
///
/// ### Detaching children
///
/// It is possible, when using [GlobalKey]s, for a child to be proactively
/// removed by another element before this element has been updated.
/// (Specifically, this happens when the subtree rooted at a widget with a
/// particular [GlobalKey] is being moved from this element to an element
/// processed earlier in the build phase.) When this happens, this element's
/// [forgetChild] method will be called with a reference to the affected child
/// element.
///
/// The [forgetChild] method of a [RenderObjectElement] subclass must remove the
/// child element from its child list, so that when it next [update]s its
/// children, the removed child is not considered.
///
/// For performance reasons, if there are many elements, it may be quicker to
/// track which elements were forgotten by storing them in a [Set], rather than
/// proactively mutating the local record of the child list and the identities
/// of all the slots. For example, see the implementation of
/// [MultiChildRenderObjectElement].
///
/// ### Maintaining the render object tree
///
/// Once a descendant produces a render object, it will call
/// [insertRenderObjectChild]. If the descendant's slot changes identity, it
/// will call [moveRenderObjectChild]. If a descendant goes away, it will call
/// [removeRenderObjectChild].
///
/// These three methods should update the render tree accordingly, attaching,
/// moving, and detaching the given child render object from this element's own
/// render object respectively.
///
/// ### Walking the children
///
/// If a [RenderObjectElement] object has any children [Element]s, it must
/// expose them in its implementation of the [visitChildren] method. This method
/// is used by many of the framework's internal mechanisms, and so should be
/// fast. It is also used by the test framework and [debugDumpApp].
abstract class RenderObjectElement extends Element {
/// Creates an element that uses the given widget as its configuration.
RenderObjectElement(RenderObjectWidget super.widget);

///

/// Whenever this function reads from `oldChildren`, this function first
/// checks whether the child is in `forgottenChildren`. If it is, the function
/// acts as if the child was not in `oldChildren`.
///
/// This function is a convenience wrapper around [updateChild], which updates
/// each individual child. If `slots` is non-null, the value for the `newSlot`
/// argument of [updateChild] is retrieved from that list using the index that
/// the currently processed `child` corresponds to in the `newWidgets` list
/// (`newWidgets` and `slots` must have the same length). If `slots` is null,
/// an [IndexedSlot<Element>] is used as the value for the `newSlot` argument.
/// In that case, [IndexedSlot.index] is set to the index that the currently
/// processed `child` corresponds to in the `newWidgets` list and
/// [IndexedSlot.value] is set to the [Element] of the previous widget in that
/// list (or null if it is the first child).
///
/// When the [slot] value of an [Element] changes, its
/// associated [renderObject] needs to move to a new position in the child
/// list of its parents. If that [RenderObject] organizes its children in a
/// linked list (as is done by the [ContainerRenderObjectMixin]) this can
/// be implemented by re-inserting the child [RenderObject] into the
/// list after the [RenderObject] associated with the [Element] provided as
/// [IndexedSlot.value] in the [slot] object.
///
/// Using the previous sibling as a [slot] is not enough, though, because
/// child [RenderObject]s are only moved around when the [slot] of their
/// associated [RenderObjectElement]s is updated. When the order of child
/// [Element]s is changed, some elements in the list may move to a new index
/// but still have the same previous sibling. For example, when
/// `[e1, e2, e3, e4]` is changed to `[e1, e3, e4, e2]` the element e4
/// continues to have e3 as a previous sibling even though its index in the list
/// has changed and its [RenderObject] needs to move to come before e2's
/// [RenderObject]. In order to trigger this move, a new [slot] value needs to
/// be assigned to its [Element] whenever its index in its
/// parent's child list changes. Using an [IndexedSlot<Element>] achieves
/// exactly that and also ensures that the underlying parent [RenderObject]
/// knows where a child needs to move to in a linked list by providing its new
