De-inlining work continues

The de-inlining work that started last week is still in full swing. The work on the C++ code generator was finished and the results look promising: The size of the generated code of the printer demo as well as the compiled binary shrunk by ~40% while the build time went down nearly 50%. The work on the Rust generator has begun.

Looking for a new name

The name we picked for our library was great to get the project started, but considering that refresh rates of 60Hz are not state of the art anymore (and admittedly were not last year), we would like to find a better name for our library.

We would very much appreciate your help! Please suggest good names over on Github!

  instead of in the sixtyfps! macro, so se actually see where the error is in the generated code.
  This also expose a bunch of warning that were not being taken care on.
