Rename MouseRegion

    Description

      MouseRegion might be confusing in the context of a finger touch UI.

      Current proposals for a new name are:

      • HitArea
      • HitRegion

      After careful consideration the decision is:

      The strongest contender was TouchArea. However, TouchArea should be more than
      what MouseRegion is today - multitouch being the most obvious omission.

      At the same time, MouseRegion has support for buttons, which is clearly a
      property of a mouse.

      So, what we have today is a MouseRegion, and it is a good name. But, we will
      have a TouchArea in the future, so to keep consistency MouseRegion will be
      renamed MouseArea.
