  * Event Beat serves two interleaving purposes: synchronization of event queues

+ * EventBeat is meant to be subclassed by platform-specific implementations.
+ * The platform-specific implementation must call EventBeat::induce(). The
+ * appropriate time to call induce is when the host platform events were queued
+ * in the EventQueue for a given UI frame. For example, on iOS,
+ * EventBeat::induce() is called before the main run loop goes to sleep. On
+ * Android, EventBeat::induce() is called from Android's Choreographer.
