Contains mouse and pen motion information. Supports relative, absolute positions and speed. See [method Node._input].
+ [b]Note:[/b] By default, this event is only emitted once per frame rendered at most. If you need more precise input reporting, call [method Input.set_use_accumulated_input] with [code]false[/code] to make events emitted as often as possible.

+ Unlike [Object]s, References keep an internal reference counter so that they are automatically released when no longer in use, and only then. References therefore do not need to be freed manually with [method Object.free].
In the vast majority of use cases, instantiating and using [Reference]-derived types is all you need to do. The methods provided in this class are only for advanced users, and can cause issues if misused.

- Resource is the base class for all Godot-specific resource types, serving primarily as data containers. They are reference counted and freed when no longer in use. They are also cached once loaded from disk, so that any further attempts to load a resource from a given path will return the same reference (all this in contrast to a [Node], which is not reference counted and can be instanced from disk as many times as desired). Resources can be saved externally on disk or bundled into another object, such as a [Node] or another resource.
