It would be great if they were not. But in fact regarding the way they 
are (or maybe even need to be) implemented, they are.

(btw.: TTimer is not visual as well and it is in this list, while 
TDataSource can be "visually placed on a Form" and has nothing to do 
with a GUI whatsoever and thus is not included.)

This is why in the Lazarus IDE "Build Mode" the alternatives denoted are 
called "Widget Type"s and in the source code it is named more 
appropriate with the unfortunately rather ambiguous term "Interface". I 
feel it would better to use "Widget Type" in the Wiki as well to improve 
the correspondence to the IDE.
