If buttons and widgets are wholly incompatible and separate then button-at
should return nil when on a widget even if both buttons and widgets use the
same underlying mechanism. This is what abstractions are for. The
implementation should be hidden.
The abstraction I really want is if there is a clickable item under point,
activate it in the most appropriate way, e.g. if selected with a mouse event,
use it’s mouse action, etc. Maybe an activate-at function that handles
different types of objects with a priority order if there are multiple matches.
