Workbench

A workbench gathers several expertises by assembling (in the sense of the set theory’s union concept) the display configurations, and expertise commands it supports.

The mechanism which assembles expertises in a workbench takes account of the order in which the expertises are declared in the workbench. This order is used to solve the situations in which several supported expertises are in conflict over a configuration. In such cases, the first expertise prevails. The order of expertises in a workbench is important.
