Base class for widgets that efficiently propagate information down the tree.

To obtain the nearest instance of a particular type of inherited widget from a build context, use BuildContext.inheritFromWidgetOfExactType.

Inherited widgets, when referenced in this way, will cause the consumer to rebuild when the inherited widget itself changes state.
