LUMIERA.clone/src/gui/ctrl/nexus.hpp
Ichthyostega eaa12499f3 back to UI command invocation: basically implement a placeholder command
based on the previous experiments, this adds a fake operation
and a definition frame to hook this operation as pseudo Proc-Layer command

WIP: the invocation itself is not yet implemented.
     We need to build a custom invocation pattern for that,
     in order to be able to capture the instance-ID of the command
     on invocation

NOTE: also, because of #989, we can not bind a time value for this test
