/// @page GUI
///
/// This extension defines how the plugin will present its GUI.
///
/// There are two approaches:
/// 1. the plugin creates a window and embeds it into the host's window
/// 2. the plugin creates a floating window
///
/// Embedding the window gives more control to the host, and feels more integrated.
/// Floating window are sometimes the only option due to technical limitations.
///
/// Showing the GUI works as follow:
///  1. clap_plugin_gui->is_api_supported(), check what can work
///  2. clap_plugin_gui->create(), allocates gui resources
///  3. if the plugin window is floating
///  4.    -> clap_plugin_gui->set_transient()
///  5.    -> clap_plugin_gui->suggest_title()
///  6. else
///  7.    -> clap_plugin_gui->set_scale()
///  8.    -> clap_plugin_gui->can_resize()
///  9.    -> if resizable and has known size from previous session, clap_plugin_gui->set_size()
/// 10.    -> else clap_plugin_gui->get_size(), gets initial size
/// 11.    -> clap_plugin_gui->set_parent()
/// 12. clap_plugin_gui->show()
/// 13. clap_plugin_gui->hide()/show() ...
/// 14. clap_plugin_gui->destroy() when done with the gui
///
/// Resizing the window (initiated by the plugin, if embedded):
/// 1. Plugins calls clap_host_gui->request_resize()
/// 2. If the host returns true the new size is accepted,
///    the host doesn't have to call clap_plugin_gui->set_size().
///    If the host returns false, the new size is rejected.
///
/// Resizing the window (drag, if embedded)):
/// 1. Only possible if clap_plugin_gui->can_resize() returns true
/// 2. Mouse drag -> new_size
/// 3. clap_plugin_gui->adjust_size(new_size) -> working_size
/// 4. clap_plugin_gui->set_size(working_size)
