## About The Pull Request
Signals were initially only usable with component listeners, which while
no longer the case has lead to outdated documentation, names, and a
similar location in code.
This pr pulls the two apart. Partially because mso thinks we should, but
also because they really aren't directly linked anymore, and having them
in this midstate just confuses people.
[Renames comp_lookup to listen_lookup, since that's what it
does](102b79694f)
[Moves signal procs over to their own
file](33d07d01fd)
[Renames the PREQDELETING and QDELETING comsigs to drop the parent bit
since they can hook to more then just comps
now](335ea4ad08)
[Does something similar to the attackby comsigs (PARENT ->
ATOM)](210e57051d)
[And finally passes over the examine
signals](65917658fb)
## Why It's Good For The Game
Code makes more sense, things are better teased apart, s just good imo
## Changelog

refactor: Pulled apart the last vestiges of names/docs directly linking
signals to components

So i left over some basic `/whatever/proc/format` uses in the original
PR this fixes it.
Notable exceptions to the rule:
- Paths in add_verb/remove_verb, we need full path instead of a name
there to access verb metadata so we can't use proc ref macros there.
- regex.Replace, found out that it does not accept call by name. Instead
i added new REGEX_REPLACE_HANDLER so we can at least try to mark these.
There's still leftover global procs that do not use GLOBAL_PROC_REF but
they functionally equivalent so that's for later.
I don't see any reasonable way to grep for this. But if you got any
ideas please share.
Redoes how geese handle eating shit, it was fucking stupid and caused harddels, and while this method is technically slower in the best case, it's a fucking goose
Fixes action related harddels, I hate how they work but at least this way they won't hold refs.
Fixes the hierophont causing its beacon to harddel
Removes the M variable from megafauna actions, it was used like a typed owner and caused harddels, so I burned it
Fixes target and targets_from harddels, replaces all setters of target with LoseTarget and GiveTarget, which should help maintain behavior. I'm not sure if this breaks anything, but if it does we should fix the assumptions that code makes instead of reverting this change
Fixes more area_senstive_contents related harddels, we need to allow the mob to move before clearing out its list.
Fixes marked object harddels (I'm coming for you admin team)
Fixes a language based human harddel
Fixes managed overlay related harddels (This was just emissive blockers, but I think this is a good safety net to have. If we clear the overlay list we should clear this one as well)
Fixes bot core harddels, I hate the fact that this exists but it has no reason to know who its owner is
Adds a walk(src, 0) to simple_animal destroy, it's the best bang for the buck in terms of stopping spurious harddels. Walk related harddels aren't that expensive in the first place, since byond does the same thing I'm doing here, but this makes finding mob harddels easier, so let's go with it
I fixed another source of part harddels, I hate fullupgrade so much
Fixes all the sound loop harddels
About The Pull Request
The thing other than ruining maps that I was working on
Refactors VV to use a more standard way of doing topic dropdown options rather than a huge if/else chain
Marking datums is now a right click option
Moves a few files around too/few procs
Why It's Good For The Game
Makes it easier to add more VV dropdown options in the future, and moving href list keys to defines make misspelling them harder.
Changelog
cl
add: Oh yeah also added a "return value of proccall" option for VV var editing.
refactor: View Variables has been refactored. It should now be easier to make VV dropdown options.
