 * <p>
 * This class condenses mouse clicks, i.e. it reduces a sequence of mouse button down,
 * mouse button up and mouse click with the same button on the same event target to a single
 * mouse click with that button on that target. The mouse button down and mouse button up events
 * are discarded. For this, it iterates the provided sequence and identifies any match of the named
 * event sequence pattern. This match is condensed to the mouse click event.
