[OpenLayers-Dev] what is a control?

[Eric Lemoine]

Hello

I have a design question: what exactly is a control in openlayers?
What's the concept behind it? How would you define a control?

Personally I'd define a control as anything that changes the map
behavior. I know this is quite a broad definition, but I feel the
current set of controls covers lots of different things. Do you share
my view of controls?

Hope my question isn't too obscure...

Thanks,
