/* \internal ParticleSystem internals documentation
 
   Affectors, Painters, Emitters and Groups all register themselves on construction as a callback
   from their setSystem (or componentComplete if they have a system from a parent).
 
   Particle data is stored by group, They have a group index (used by the particle system almost
   everywhere) and a global index (used by the Stochastic state engine powering stochastic group
   transitions). Each group has a recycling list/heap that stores the particle data.
 
   The recycling list/heap is a heap of particle data sorted by when they're expected to die. If
   they die prematurely then they are marked as reusable (and will probably still be alive when
   they exit the heap). If they have their life extended, then they aren't dead when expected.
   If this happens, they go back in the heap with the new estimate. If they have died on schedule,
   then the indexes are marked as reusable. If no indexes are reusable when new particles are
   requested, then the list is extended. This relatively complex datastructure is because memory
   allocation and deallocation on this scale proved to be a significant performance cost. In order
   to reuse the indexes validly (even when particles can have their life extended or cut short
   dynamically, or particle counts grow) this seemed to be the most efficient option for keeping
   track of which indices could be reused.
 
   When a new particle is emitted, the emitter gets a new datum from the group (through the
   system), and sets properties on it. Then it's passed back to the group briefly so that it can
   now guess when the particle will die. Then the painters get a change to initialize properties
   as well, since particle data includes shared data from painters as well as logical particle
   data.
 
   Every animation advance, the simulation advances by running all emitters for the elapsed
   duration, then running all affectors, then telling all particle painters to update changed
   particles. The ParticlePainter superclass stores these changes, and they are implemented
   when the painter is called to paint in the render thread.
 
   Particle group changes move the particle from one group to another by killing the old particle
   and then creating a new one with the same data in the new group.
 
   Note that currently groups only grow. Given that data is stored in vectors, it is non-trivial
   to pluck out the unused indexes when the count goes down. Given the dynamic nature of the
   system, it is difficult to tell if those unused data instances will be used again. Still,
   some form of garbage collection is on the long term plan.

    empty is set to true when there are no live particles left in the system.
 
    You can use this to pause the system, keeping it from spending any time updating,
    but you will need to resume it in order for additional particles to be generated

    Each QtQuick::Sprite in this list is interpreted as corresponding to the particle group
    with the same name. Any transitions defined in these sprites will take effect on the particle
    groups as well. Additionally TrailEmitters, Affectors and ParticlePainters defined
    inside one of these sprites are automatically associated with the corresponding particle group.
