So the Aspect chain's role goes from specifying "here are the
context-dependent things that are important" to "here is where you get
the context-dependent things that are important"? Roles and missions
were ably explained for Manakin 1.0, but things became muddier (at
least, in my mind) in the integrated XMLUI. This helps.
Since a Theme is free to ignore any part the Aspect chain's suggested
content, I guess it makes sense for Aspects to provide references
rather than copies of large substructures. It means a lot less bulk
to carry through the pipeline, which is particularly beneficial when
some of that bulk may be discarded. We just need to make clear what
each stage is expected to do.
