...now able to build a mock segmentation which issues dummy jobs,
and is wired such as to verify the right job is invoked for each segment.
And this allows to build and verify the Dispatcher,
without being able to invoke actual render jobs yet.
The algorithm coded thus far turns out to be rather generic,
and thus it can be rewritten into a template, while all specific parts
are supplied as λ-Functors.
- instead of Time we use a generic ordering type
- the Iterator is likewise turned into a template parameter
- all the operations are directly supplied as functor types
- C++17 is able to pick up all those λ-Types from the ctor call
This change looks like "low hanging fruit"; the legibility of the code
is not seriously hampered, yet we get the benefit to test this rather
technical piece of logic by an isolated test (which for now is the
primary motivation), and we can hope to re-use it for similar tasks.
There are 12 distinct cases regarding the orientation of two intervals;
The Segmentation::splitSplice() operation shall insert a new Segment
and adjust / truncate / expand / split / delete existing segments
such as to retain the *Invariant* (seamless segmentation covering
the complete time axis)
The Fixture and the low-level model backbone deserve a distinct namespace on their own.
Since it's built by the Builder from the Session contents, and also used by the frame dispatch,
we can expect dependence on some types from Steam-Layer, and thus this namespace
needs to reside in Steam-Layer rather, while the actual low-level Model
might become part of Vault-Layer, creating a hierarchy of data structures.
(Remark: likely also the session related namespaces will need a reorganisation)
