This extension is required to use GenNode as data source for text-template instantiation.
I am aware that such a function could counter the design intent for GenNode,
because it could be (ab)used to "just get the damn value" and then
parse back the results...
In the Lumiera code base, we use C-String constants as unique error-IDs.
Basically this allows to create new unique error IDs anywhere in the code.
However, definition of such IDs in arbitrary namespaces tends to create
slight confusion and ambiguities, while maintaining the proper use statements
requires some manual work.
Thus I introduce a new **standard scheme**
* Error-IDs for widespread use shall be defined _exclusively_ into `namespace lumiera::error`
* The shorthand-Macro `LERR_()` can now be used to simplify inclusion and referral
* (for local or single-usage errors, a local or even hidden definition is OK)
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)
- how to pass-in a specification given as GenNode
- now this might be translated into a MockJobTicket allocated in the MockSegmentation
Unimplemented: actually build the Segment with suitable start/end time
Yeah, C++17, finally!
...not totally sure if we want to go that route.
However, the noise reduction in terms of code size at call site looks compelling
All of the existing "simple" tests for the »Diff Framework« are way to much low-level;
they might indeed be elementary, but not introductory and simple to grasp.
We need a very simplistic example to show off the idea of mutation by diff,
and this simple example can then be used to build further usage test cases.
My actual goal for #1206 to have such a very basic usage demonstration and then
to attach a listener to this setup, and verify it is actually triggered.
PS: the name "GenNodeBasic_test" is somewhat pathetic, this test covers a lot
of ground and is anything but "basic". GenNode in fact became a widely used
fundamental data structure within Lumiera, and -- admittedly -- the existing
implementation might be somewhat simplistic, while the whole concept as such
is demanding, and we should accept that as the state of affairs
