# Module 'panel'
#
# Support for the Panel library.
# Uses built-in module 'pnl'.
# Applciations should use 'panel.function' instead of 'pnl.function';
# most 'pnl' functions are transparently exported by 'panel',
# but dopanel() is overridden and you have to use this version
# if you want to use callbacks.
