Description

The UI interface is mutating and expanding. Now, it's really a cross-platform abstraction layer that exposes the Broflake API to developers across runtime environments.

The UIImpl struct keeps a reference to a Broflake struct, but this is probably an inside-out way of looking at how things work.

A UIImpl should be called Broflake, and what we currently call Broflake actually represents something that might more accurately be called BroflakeEngine -- that is, it's tables and routers and the technical guts of an instance of a client.
