-- Class: Subview

-- A subview is a view that steals lives inside a parent view. It's useful for

-- things like a pause overlay or inventory screen, which don't interact with a main view

-- directly and are useful when they're sectioned off into their own world.

--

-- A subview should not interact much with its parent view, if at all. It's important

-- to, if a subview calls a method on its parent, that it set the.view to the parent,

-- and then restore it to itself afterwards.

--

-- A subview is modal, meaning that although the parent view is visible underneath

-- its subview, it does not receive any update-related events. If you want to display

-- something on top of a view while it still is visible and updating, use a <Group>

-- instead.

--

-- Events:

--		onActivate - Called when the subview activates.

--		onDeactivate - Called when the subview deactivates.

--

-- Extends:

--		<View>
