We should think about replacing the term "tool" for the interaction gesture handlers with a more descriptive term, for example, IGestureHandler, or just IHandler.

What about IGesture?

I renamed ITool to IGesture, and adjusted the package name, test class names, and binding method names accordingly. The code is published on the master branch, therefore, I resolve this ticket as fixed for 5.0.0 M6.

In the context of this bug, the interaction policies have been conceptually split from the transaction policies. Interaction policies are now called handlers ( IHandler/AbstractHandler), and transaction policies are now simply called policies (IPolicy/AbstractPolicy).
