 * \brief Helper class for deferred refreshing in Widgets
 *
 * This class can handle the logic necessary to defer the refreshing of widgets when they are not visible.
 * It contains an optional RefreshDeferrerAccumulator, which can be used to accumulate incoming events while
 * refreshing is deferred.
 *
 * Example (don't write it like this in practice, use the convenience methods in CutterDockWidget):
 * ```
 * // in the constructor of a widget
 * this->refreshDeferrer = new RefreshDeferrer(new ReplacingRefreshDeferrerAccumulator(false), this);
 * this->refreshDeferrer->registerFor(this);
 * connect(this->refreshDeferrer, &RefreshDeferrer::refreshNow, this, [this](MyParam *param) {
 *      // We attempted a refresh some time before, but it got deferred.
 *      // Now the RefreshDeferrer tells us to do the refresh and gives us the accumulated param.
 *      this->doRefresh(*param);
 * }
 *
 * // ...
 *
 * void MyWidget::doRefresh(MyParam param)
 * {
 *      if (!this->refreshDeferrer->attemptRefresh(new MyParam(param))) {
 *          // We shouldn't refresh right now.
 *          // The RefreshDeferrer takes over the param we passed it in attemptRefresh()
 *          // and gives it to the ReplacingRefreshDeferrerAccumulator.
 *          return;
 *      }
 *      // do the actual refresh depending on param
 * }
 * ```
