Ichthyostega dfc28ca2a0 UI-Bus command handling protocol unit test PASS 
still TODO: the ability to use immutable types
within the command framework. In theory, this
shouldn't be had to implement, since we're creating
a new opaque value holder within the command registry
anyway, so it should be sufficient to refrain from
re-assigning a new value tuple. This is relevant,
since e.g. our time framework is built on immutable
value types.

GUI backbone tests

The tests in this subtree are a bit special: they cover the generic and
backbone internals of the Lumiera GTK GUI. They are linked against the
complete GUI-module (gui plugin), and thus may use all related ABIs.

Yet these tests are *deliberately* compiled without any GTK, GTKmm or SigC
includes. This effectively rules out the use, even indirectly, of any GTK
widgets and APIs -- forcing the covered GUI backbone entities to stay
clean and generic at API level.

This is a decision done on purpose. The concrete GUI framework technology
shall be treated as an implementation detail. There is no point in writing
tests which click buttons in the GUI -- better delegate any significant
logic or functionality to GUI agnostic components. GUI is meant to be
a presentation layer and must not develop intelligence on its own.
