This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.

Only affects internal API, bout could be exposed as an option for
the compatibility reasons with other software.
Is a part of some ongoing development of multires, but might or
might not be used.
This replaces old single toggle option to subdivide UVs with
an enum which can have more options. The usecase for this is
to be compatible with other software. But we also might choose
different subdivision type as default in the future.
DNA and underlying code supports all possible options, but
only the ones which are compatible with old subdivision code
are currently exposes.

C-API is way smaller than the rest of the code which uses it.
So better to conditionally compile stub implementation than
to keep adding ifdef everywhere.
The idea is to use this as a replacement of old CCG, now it is
based on OpenSubdiv. The goal is to reduce any possible overhead
which was happening with OpenSubdiv used by CCG.
Currently implemented/supported:
- Creation from mesh, including topology on OpenSubdiv side,
its refinement.
- Evaluation of limit point, first order derivatives, normal,
and face-varying data for individual coarse position.
- Evaluation of whole patches.
Currently not optimized, uses evaluation of individual coarse
positions.
- Creation of Mesh from subdiv, with all geometry being real:
all mvert, medge, mloop, and mpoly.
This includes custom data interpolation, but all faces currently
are getting separated (they are converted to ptex patches, which
we need to weld back together).
Still need to support lighter weights grids and such, but this
is already a required part to have subsurf working in the middle
of modifier stack.
Annoying part is ifdef all over the place, to keep it compilable
when OpenSubdiv is disabled. More cleaner approach would be to
have stub API for OpenSubdiv, so everything gets ifdef-ed in a
much fewer places.
