(Migrated from github.com)

The change isn't quite trivial because we still have to return an actual primary value and meta table.

The primary value is easily handled by just writing it to control_data.primary (or some other place) in the event handlers and reading it back internally in ugui.control.

The meta table is more difficult to handle cleanly. I'll keep thinking about this :/

This change would cut down quite a bit of code, while also making adding a mechanism to signal whether an event was handled (we don't do that currently, relying only on the rules of input capture instead) easier.
