/** This struct allows multiple labels to be added to objects that might normally have only one label.
This struct allows a mixed text and/or graphics label to be applied to an object that
would normally only have a single (usually text only) label.
Most regular FLTK widgets now support the ability to associate both images and text
with a label but some special cases, notably the non-widget Fl_Menu_Item objects, do not.
Fl_Multi_Label may be used to create menu items that have an icon and text, which would
not normally be possible for an Fl_Menu_Item.
For example, Fl_Multi_Label is used in the New->Code submenu in fluid, and others.
Each Fl_Multi_Label holds two elements, labela and labelb; each may hold either a
text label (const char*) or an image (Fl_Image*). When displayed, labela is drawn first
and labelb is drawn immediately to its right.
More complex labels might be constructed by setting labelb as another Fl_Multi_Label and
thus chaining up a series of label elements.
When assigning a label element to one of labela or labelb, they should be explicitly cast
to (const char*) if they are not of that type already.
