public interface R3Action

R3 Actions encompass high-level actions that can be invoked as the result of an event handler. They can be arbitrarily complex, but the prepackaged R3Actions will be simple ones, like opening a default browser, or playing a sound.

One nice thing about R3 Actions is that they can be sent across the wire to a remote action server. That means we can make an auxiliary device listen for actions and invoke them.
