  Abstract:
    TEventsCodeTool enhances TChangeDeclarationTool.
    TEventsCodeTool provides functions to work with published methods in the
    source. It can gather a list of compatible methods, test if method exists,
    jump to the method body, create a method, complete all missing published
    variables and events from a root component.
