Clear the weird term "Metaelement".
These are the metaballs (elements) inside one metaball objects.
- "Meta Ball" to "Metaball"
- "Metaelement", "Meta element" to "Metaball element"

The "quick setup" dialog is actually a 'menu', and the "splash screen" block
contains the UI_BLOCK_LOOP flag which causes the buttons' text to align
to the left, however, usually regular buttons have centered text.
As a workaround, add the UI_BLOCK_QUICK_SETUP flag which prevents
the text from being left-aligned.

Support Python 3.10a5 or 3.9x with support explicitly enabled.
- Enable Python's postponed annotations for Blender's RNA classes
types registered on startup.
- Using postponed annotations has implications for how they are defined,
since they must evaluate in the modules name-space instead of the
classes name-space. See changes to annotations in `release/scripts`.
- Use `from __future__ import annotations` at the top of the module
to ensure the script will run with Python 3.10.
- Old logic is kept since it could be used if PEP-649 is supported.

wm.context_* operators typically have their options set by menus
or key bindings.
Re-using options in this case can cause problems where two
actions that change unrelated properties will re-use a setting
from the previous execution.
For example changing the lights Power impacted
changing it's Radius afterwards.
Approximately 138 changes in the spelling of compound words
and proper names like "Light Probe", "Shrink/Fatten", "Face Map".
In many cases, hyphens were used where they aren't correct, like
"re-fit". Other common changes include:
- "Datablock" -> "data-block"
- "Floating point" -> "floating-point"
- "Ngons" -> "n-gons"
These changes help give the language used in the interface
a consistent, more professional feel.

Approximately 195 changes of capitalization to conform to MLA title style.
UI labels and property names should use MLA title case, while descriptions
should be capitalized like regular prose, generally with only the start of
a sentence capitalized.

Remove `exec()` and `eval()` calls from `WM_OT_properties_edit` where
possible. This not only results in simpler, cleaner code, but also
removes the necessity for `repr(value)` to evaluate to a Python
expression that in turn evaluates to `value` again.
No functional changes.

One should be able to edit overridable IDProps values, but never their
settings/definitions.
Note that being able to add new IDProps to overrides is still a TODO.
Reported by Josephbburg (@Josephbburg) over blenderchat, thanks.
The panel looks out of place with the rest of Blender's UI and the
text is cropped. With property split turned on and a few smaller
tweaks these issues are fixed.

The file subversion is no longer used in the Python API or user interface,
and is now internal to Blender.
User interface, Python API and file I/O metadata now use more consistent
formatting for version numbers. Official releases use "2.83.0", "2.83.1",
and releases under development use "2.90.0 Alpha", "2.90.0 Beta".
Some Python add-ons may need to lower the Blender version in bl_info to
(2, 83, 0) or (2, 90, 0) if they used a subversion number higher than 0.

There are cases when a user can accidentally assign an operator to toggle an
invalid property to e.g. left click, which shows Python errors to the users.
Rather than throw an error and e.g. break 3D viewport selection for the user,
just print an error to the console.
The root cause of such bugs should be fixed as well, but a working Blender
is most important here.
This defaults to selection when not using a gizmo.
The previous behavior to drag anywhere can be set in the tool settings
or by selecting the fallback tool (Alt-W).
See: T66304
Implement T66304 as an experimental option,
available under the preferences "Experimental" section.
- When enabled most tools in the 3D view have a gizmo.
- Dragging outside the gizmo uses the 'fallback' tool.
- The fallback tool can be changed or disabled in the tool options
or from a pie menu (Alt-W).
