+// The current help provider must be explicitly set by the application using
+// wxHelpProvider::Set().

+// Special note about ShowHelpAtPoint() and ShowHelp(): we want to be able to
+// override ShowHelpAtPoint() when we need to use different help messages for
+// different parts of the window, but it should also be possible to override
+// just ShowHelp() both for backwards compatibility and just because most
+// often the help does not, in fact, depend on the position and so
+// implementing just ShowHelp() is simpler and more natural, so by default
+// ShowHelpAtPoint() forwards to ShowHelp(). But this means that
+// wxSimpleHelpProvider has to override ShowHelp() and not ShowHelpAtPoint()
+// for backwards compatibility as otherwise the existing code deriving from it
+// and overriding ShowHelp() but calling the base class version wouldn't work
