Utility to get a file/dir in the path by index,
supporting negative indices to start from the end of the path.
Without this it wasn't straightforward to get
the a files parent directory name from a filepath.
When the new window didn't end up using the size stored in the preferences
the splash would not be centered (even outside the screen in some cases).
Now centered popups listen for window resizing.
Instead of calling a function looping over whole list of a given ID
type, make whole loop over Main in parent function, and call functions
writing a single datablock at a time.
This design is more in line with all other places in Blender where we
handle whole content of Main (including readfile.c), and much more easy
to extend and add e.g. some generic processing of IDs before/after
writing, etc.
From user point, there should be no change at all, only difference is
that data-block types won't be saved in same order as before (.blend
file specs enforces no order here, so this is not an issue, but it could
bug some third party users using other, simplified .blend file reader maybe).

Meshes w/o modifiers wouldn't have their derived mesh applied.
Check was to avoid crash but its in fact meaningless,
since the modifier might be disabled, or there may be virtual modifiers.
Not sure why I did not put those from start... Actually *not* having an
undo point here can be problematic, since undoing some previous action
was trying to restore from bad pointer (I think) in UI, generating
asserts.
Note however that it's not a 'pure' undo, in that you may not find your
linked data in exact same state as before deleting it, after an undo,
since it actually implies *reloading* the deleted libraries (and not
restoring from a previously stored memory dump).
Reported by @sergey, thanks.
There is no way currently to prevent the option from showing in menu, so
instead report a warning to user (and curse again current nightmarish
system of operation in outliner...).
Reported by @sergey, thanks.
Internal change needed for template support.
Loading the user preferences first so it's possible
for preferences to control startup behavior.
In general it's useful to load preferences before data-files,
so we know security settings for eg.
The thing i'm really starting to hate is the requirement to specify both
operation code and node type. Seems to be duplicated enums without real
need for that.
This addresses an issue raised by D2453 -
that there was no way to check if operators are run
multiple times in a row.
Actions are still ignored that don't cause an UNDO event.
Was using some threaded queue on top of task pool, tssk...
Now using properly task pool directly to crunch chunks of smooth fans.
No noticable changes in speed.
Tried to completely get rid of the 'no threading with few loops' code,
but even just creating/freeing the task pool, without actually pushing
any task, is enough to make code 50% slower in worst case scenario (i.e.
few thousands of simple cube objects).
