The macro defined namespaces confused the hell out of lupdate and more or less broke translations permanently. Looks like the only way we can do it is to have a hardcoded namespace, which goes against my instinct, but honestly how likely is it that we'll change the namespace anyway (I guess forks might want to do it, but that's their problem ;) )
The nodes now have more control over how their accelerated shaders/sample
functions are run, as well as how items are popped off the value tables.
This allows for various optimizations that we didn't have access to before.
As opposed to simply leaving all values in the table, nodes can now "take"
values that they use to free up memory (e.g. "taking" input buffers if they're
used to produce an output buffer).
This is a fairly large change, expect regressions.
If Nodes only have the one output, we don't need to do so much differentiation
between them. Previous iteration used outputs as like a distinct function
within a Node (e.g. length output would return one result, buffer output would
produce a different result - each run different code to produce their results).
Now in this iteration, it's more accurate to say a Node is just one function
(which seems more appropriate for a node system anyway).
Largely conforming renderers to new NodeValue system. Code seems a lot cleaner
this way which is a nice advantage. Likely non-functional as this won't
compile just yet and still needs probably another day or two of testing to get
it back to where it was before.
Since the nodes won't be holding any rendering data themselves in this system,
we may as well enforce some level of non-write access by setting all the
functions to const. They were already const-friendly, they just weren't
labelled as such.
