/*
 * The Flitter Units File
 * -------------------------------------------------------------
 * Flitter uses a unit-chain style initialization system. This means that
 * individual components of Flitter and its add-ons are specified in order
 * here. Then, when the app is created, Flitter creates a single functional
 * chain by passing the next unit to the current unit's loading script. This
 * launches Flitter with a single function call (FlitterApp.up()) and enables
 * developers to contextualize Flitter within async or callback functions.
