I'm open to suggestions! My problem is that I don't have access to the 
source code of a and b.

Specifically, what I want to do is override the behavior of 
capi:map-pane-descendant-children for my custom widget, so that it 
doesn't descend into the child panes of my widget (but rather treats it 
as a leaf in the tree). Since I don't know 
how capi:map-pane-descendant-children operates, I thought I could call 
the method for capi::simple-element, which already does what I want.

(If I knew how capi:map-pane-descendant-children handles :leaf-only, 
that would be helpful, but unfortunately I don't know how it determines 
if a node (pane) is a leaf or a container)
