This was reported for the Triangulate geometry node, but was also true
for the triangulate modifier and in exporters.
Note the modifier was introduced with "Ngon Method" in rBa7b44c82e5b9 but
was renamed to "Polygon Method" in rBf4762eb12ba5.
Since quads are also polygons (and quads have their own method), the
term "N-gon" is more appropriate here and is also described in the
glossary https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/2.92/glossary/
index.html#term-N-gon
Docs have been updated in rBM7539 (partially - the method would also
have to be renamed once this patch lands).
Note this also fixes the wrong enum used for the alembic exporter.

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.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D9922
Follow the MLA style, agreed upon in T79589. This means "from" within UI
labels should be lowercase.

This adds XYZ symmetry as a property of meshes and updates all modes to
use the mesh symmetry by default to have a consistent tool behavior
between all modes and when switching objects.

The winding order of the faces changes when flipping the faces.
This lead to the loop indices changing as well.
Now we take this into account when restoring and flipping the custom
normals. Before the normals would be swapped.
Build a temp matarray storing materials from obdata and source object
(depending on slots 'allocation' of source object), and assign those to
targets.
Also remove limitation of 'using same obdata is forbidden', just never
edit obdata materials in that case...
Certainly not perfect, but already much better than existing code.
Operators are one of the last places in Blender to use older UI designs
that don't fit in with recent style conventions. This commit updates
these custom operator UI callbacks for consistency and clarity.
Some of the code is also simplified a lot. Some of the older operator layouts
were much more complex (in terms of code) than they needed to be.
See the differential revision for a before and after screenshot
of each operator.

Using enum type itself in implementations, and uint in headers (as using
enums types in headers is a pain when enum are not defined and used in a
single same header file...).
Custom Loop Normals are normally encoded relative to the default
normals, similar to normal maps, allowing them to naturally follow
mesh deformations. Changes to mesh topology however often result
in nonsensical effects that are not desired.
The Remove Doubles operation especially (now known as Merge By
Distance) is intended as a purely topological operation, and
definitely should not change the vector of the custom normals.
This patch implements that behavior by converting the relative
encoding into an absolute vector layer for the duration of the
operation. It also modifies other Merge types in this way for
consistency, the Rip operator as their inverse counterpart;
and also Delete, Dissolve, Connect Path and Knife operators
as other examples more related to topology than shape.
On the technical side, this ports mesh_normals_loop_custom_set
to BMesh, and then uses a temporary Custom Data layer to store
the normals as vectors for the duration of the above mentioned
operations. When the normals are converted back to custom data,
the caller can choose whether to mark edges as sharp to preserve
distinct normals, or just average them instead. All but Remove
Doubles choose to average for now.

This is related to T76659.
This just renames data type names to `CD_PROP_STRING`, `CD_PROP_FLOAT`
and `CD_PROP_INT32`. It makes them a bit more specific and removes
unnecessary abbreviations.

The issue was the custom loop normal data would be mangled when we
reversed the face loops.
The flip face code will now correctly flip the custom face normals so
they are not left in an undefined state.

Fairly critical code mistake actually, since it uses malloca,
BLI_smallstack should *never* be declared inside a loop...
Also optimized handling of the `loop_weight` heapsimple, we can also
only create and use a single one for all edited objects...
Found two other operators potentially affected by same issue (split
normals, and weld edges into faces).
When the modal operator passes events, free the internal state of
the operator as we can't be sure those events don't cause the mesh data
to be re-allocated or removed.
Longer term it might be best to make this into a tool since
the main purpose of this operator is to run other actions.
Change to recent renaming of "Edge Collapse" as it has multiple uses,
as it collapses edge-rings, but isn't limited to collapsing single edges,
it can be used to collapse faces with arbitrary topology.
The name "Collapse Regions" is too vague, users might not think to use
this to collapse edge-rings.
Use a more verbose name "Collapse Edges & Faces", referencing edge-rings
in the tool-tip.
This is useful for collapsing regions of faces & edges,
similar to a 'Merge -> Collapse' which can operate on multiple regions,
merging UV's so they don't need to be manually corrected.
The name & description didn't mention this.
The edge split operator can now split faces & edges
from selected vertices.
This has the same functionality as manually ripping all
faces and edges away from a vertex.
Currently, this change does not bring functional changes.
But it is necessary to extend the use of the snap system for gizmos,
since, after a Undo, the `depsgraph` pointed by the `snap_context`
has its memory invalidated.
