Rationale: custom props on linked objects are editable through ops and the console but the UI code calls RNA_property_editable() which returns false if (id->lib && !(prop->flag & PROP_LIB_EXCEPTION))
Setting the 'LIBRARY_EDITABLE' flag allows UI templates to change these props (but the changes aren't saved!) for things like indices into CollectionProperties which live on the linked object
Note about long lines: I did not touch to two pieces of code (because I don’t see any way to keep a nicely formated, compact code, with shorter lines):
* The node types definitions into rna_nodetree_types.h
* The vgroup name functions into rna_particle.c
The fact is, operators' label are nearly always verbs, while properties labels are nearly always nouns. So this should already solve many translations' problems regarding noun/verb confusion.
This commit also simplifies a bit i18n usage:
*Now IFACE_ and TIP_ macros (or there context versions, CTX_IFACE_/TIP_) are used nearly everywhere (with one exception, where code is a bit complex and needs to manually test whether ui/tip translations is allowed, so no need to redo it later through those macros).
*Also, those macros are now defined to NOP in case WITH_INTERNATIONAL is false, which avoid testing that define everywhere in code!
This commit implements a way to define context of property which is used by
localization stuff and which is needed to resolve translation context when
some word wit the same english spelling is used in different meanings
(like Manual in meaning of tutorial, and Manual in meaning of something is
setting up by hand).
To define property's context there's a function RNA_def_property_translation_context.
If property doesn't have context, regular BLF_gettext function is used to get
translation of property name, otherwise BLF_pgettext is used for this.
Hence, for correct translation, messages in .po files should be marked
by "msgctxt" context, otherwise property with context declared wouldn't
be translated at all. Toolchain scripts from bf-translation project
would be updated soon.
If context for some values of enumerator property, property itself should
be moved to other context and all items from this enum would be moved to
this context automatically (it's impossible to move one few items to
another context).
P.S. Think context like "BRUSH" or "MODIFIER" are preferable than "NOUN" and "VERB"
because in some cases the same english noun used in different areas better be
translated differently to make translation more native.
Talked with Brecht and Campbell and they both agreed that bpy.types should match bpy.props
In the ideal world we would rename bpy.props to BooleanProperty. This would break scripts though. So we go for a compromise and at least have some consistency.
- rename define DISABLE_SDL --> WITH_SDL (which was already used in some places)
- blenders interation preset was using orbit rather then turntable 3d view preference (different from factory defaults).
- tagged some unused rna args.
This branch adds mostly organizational improvements to the node system by renaming the node folders and files. A couple of internal features have been added too.

An example of how this is useful - an importer mixin could define the filepath properties and a generic invoke function which can run the subclasses exec for each selected file.
- Panels and Menus now skip the property check when registering.
- renamed _idproperties_ to _idprops_ in function names, function names were getting very long.
split PropertyRNA off into 3 types, base type, collection and array, since array and collections needed internal checks inside almost every function its better to have the, as subclassed to the property type. This makes introspection more useful.
Also made printing of structs and properties prettier giveing type and length.
Fixed and completed support for returning multiple values. This includes support for returning arrays, both fixed and dynamically sized. The way this is achieved is by storing an additional int value next to the dynamic parameter in the ParameterList stack which gets passed to the C function as an additional parameter. In the case of return parameters it is duty of the C function to set this int to the correct length value for the dynamic parameter (which makes sense). Note that for the dynamic output/return parameter it is assumed the function has allocated that memory (which gets freed automatically).
Also, I cleaned the makesrna's bridge function generation code a bit and renamed PROP_RETURN to PROP_OUTPUT, which represents better the reality now that there are multiple returns. The function now to mark multiple returns (outputs) is RNA_def_function_output.
For an example, look at Action.get_frame_range in rna_action_api.c, by the way Aligorith I removed the #ifdef for this function now that there's support for returning arrays, feel free to modify (the function seems to work).
