Description

[David Bolter [:davidb] (NeedInfo me for attention)]

We should know more about who is using us so that we can make better decisions regarding accuracy:performance at run time.

E.g.
Windows:

DetectAT()
{
  // NVDA, FS, GWMICRO, DOLPHIN, SYSTEM ACCESS
  if (::GetModuleHandleW(L"VBufBackend_gecko_ia2") ||
      ::GetModuleHandleW(L"jhook") ||
      ::GetModuleHandleW(L"gwm32inc") ||
      ::GetModuleHandleW(L"dolwinhk.dll") ||
      ::GetModuleHandleW(L"STSA32")) {
    return true;
  }

  return false;
}

One thing we should strongly consider is what events we listen for, and what we queue/fire.

We'll develop a good plan for this bug in the wiki (see URL in bug header).
