PinnableContainer

interface PinnableContainer

Represents a container which can be pinned when the content of this container is important.

For example, each item of lazy list represents one PinnableContainer, and if this container is pinned, this item will not be disposed when scrolled out of the viewport.

Pinning a currently focused item so the focus is not lost is one of the examples when this functionality can be useful.
