--- Get a widex index.
-- @param widget The widget to look for
-- @param[opt] recursive Also check sub-widgets
-- @param[opt] ... Aditional widgets to add at the end of the "path"
-- @return The index
-- @return The parent layout
-- @return The path between "self" and "widget"
-- @function index

--- Get all direct and indirect children widgets.
-- This will scan all containers recursively to find widgets
-- Warning: This method it prone to stack overflow id the widget, or any of its
-- children, contain (directly or indirectly) itself.
-- @treturn table The children
-- @function get_all_children

--- Set a declarative widget hierarchy description.
-- See [The declarative layout system](../documentation/03-declarative-layout.md.html)
-- @param args An array containing the widgets disposition
-- @function setup

--- Force a widget height.
-- @property forced_height
-- @tparam number|nil height The height (`nil` for automatic)

--- Force a widget width.
-- @property forced_width
-- @tparam number|nil width The width (`nil` for automatic)

--- The widget opacity (transparency).
-- @property opacity
-- @tparam[opt=1] number opacity The opacity (between 0 and 1)

--- The widget visibility.
-- @property visible
-- @param boolean

--- Set/get a widget's buttons.
-- @param _buttons The table of buttons that should bind to the widget.
-- @function buttons


--- When the layout (size) change.
-- This signal is emited when the previous results of `:layout()` and `:fit()`
-- are no longer valid.
-- @signal widget::layout_changed
-- @see widget::redraw_needed

--- When the widget content changed.
-- Unless this signal is emitted, `:layout()` and `:fit()` must return the same
-- result when called with the same arguments. In case this isn't the case,
-- use `widget::layout_changed`.
-- @signal widget::redraw_needed

--- When a mouse button is pressed over the widget.
-- The position of the mouse press relative to the widget while geometry
-- contains the geometry of the widget relative to the wibox.

--- When a mouse button is released over the widget.
