/**
 * {@link ClickListenerCollection} used to correctly hook up listeners which
 * need to listen to events from another source.
 * <p>
 * For example, {@link Composite} widgets often need to listen to events
 * generated on their wrapped widget. Upon the firing of a wrapped widget's
 * event, the composite widget must fire its own listeners with itself as the
 * source of the event. To use a {@link DelegatingClickListenerCollection},
 * simply use the {@link DelegatingClickListenerCollection} instead of a
 * {@link ClickListenerCollection}. For example, in {@link SuggestBox}, the
 * following code is used to listen to click events on the {@link SuggestBox}'s
 * underlying widget.
