... it's either the source of the connection that is being destroyed, or other
object (such as an ancestor window) transitively owning it and so causing it to
be destroyed too;
or, the sink is being destroyed, and that sink is a wxEvtHandler (which is
always so for Disconnect, though not for Unbind in case Bind was passed a
member function of a non-wxEvtHandler).
wxWidgets takes care of erasing the connection in such cases.
This removes most calls to Disconnect and Unbind. Many destructors shrank to
nothing.
Notably, in case of popup menu handling, the call to Disconnect is not removable
because the object being destroyed is neither the source nor the sink.
... But perhaps we are developing the means to relax even this ban safely.
For instance, why not undo a mistaken AddLabelPlaying command (Ctrl+M) without
stopping the recording?
1) When the program detects this, insert zeroes into the recording to keep the
other good parts synchronized.
2) When recording stops, a message box alerts the user, and a label track is
added showing the lost parts, labelled with consecutive numbers.
3) A menu item visible in alpha builds only is added to Tools, to simulate
recording errors at random times and test the reporting feature.

... This even makes it possible to remove the prohibition of undo and redo
during transport, not that we want to though. Playback and recording will
continue, using track objects that might not be in the current project.
Added preferences for Zoom-Toggle and put into menus.
New helper functions for determining zoom scaling.
Optional EXPERIMENTAL_ZOOM_TOGGLE_BUTTON added, and Light theme updated.
Not enabled for 2.2.2.
... Avoid small out-of-context words and phrases in translation catalog that
are then substituted into larger translated phrases with blanks.
(What if my language has declensions? How do I know the right form to use
for the phrases?)
Instead, give the translators larger in-context phrases to work with, even if
that requires replications of phrases with small variations.
... and similar wx "variadics," which all treat wxString smartly enough that
you don't need this.
Don't need c_str either to convert wxString to const wxChar * because
wxString has a conversion operator that does the same.
... I'm not sure how to make it work for AudioUnits, LV2, or Vamp, for which
the API for identifying a plug-in doesn't map straightforwardly to a file name.
Alerted to this buggy code by Darrell Walisser's comment:
"Whoops, the range on the 64-bit signed integer check is incorrect."
After these fixes, I saw that IsGoodInt was being used to test a dotted
version number, so I commented out that (bogus) test which was previously
always succeeding.
The IsGood{num} functions did no range checking if the numbers were shorter
than the max value. Then, if the number was similar in length, the first digit could
be an invalid character and the code also previously accepted all 9's followed by 1.
My new code would benefit from code review and unit tests.
- Dead code from experiments in SelectionBar removed.
- Many warnings about unused parameters fixed with WXUNUSED()
- Many warnings about signed / unsigned comparisons cleaned up.
- Several 'local variable declared but not used' warnings fixed.
