This refactors the undo-commands (which are now only "commands"). - Move everything in namespace Command. This allows shortening of names without polluting the global namespace. Moreover, the prefix Command:: will immediately signal that the undo-machinery is invoked. This is more terse than UndoCommands::instance()->... - Remove the Undo in front of the class-names. Creating an "UndoX" object to do "X" is paradoxical. - Create a base class for all commands that defines the Qt-translation functions. Thus all translations end up in the "Command" context. - Add a workToBeDone() function, which signals whether this should be added to the UndoStack. Thus the caller doesn't have to check itself whether this any work will be done. Note: Qt5.9 introduces "setObsolete" which does the same. - Split into public and internal header files. In the public header file only export the function calls, thus hiding all implementation details from the caller. - Split in different translation units: One for the stubs, one for the base classes and one for groups of commands. Currently, there is only one class of commands: divelist-commands. - Move the undoStack from the MainWindow class into commands_base.cpp. If we want to implement MDI, this can easily be moved into an appropriate Document class.
