+/* Engine initialization
+ *
+ * Consists of several methods that are called by each platform's specific main(argc, argv).
+ * To fully understand engine init, one should therefore start from the platform's main and
+ * see how it calls into the Main class' methods.
+ *
+ * The initialization is typically done in 3 steps (with the setup2 step triggered either
+ * automatically by setup, or manually in the platform's main).
+ *
+ * - setup(execpath, argc, argv, p_second_phase) is the main entry point for all platforms,
+ *   responsible for the initialization of all low level singletons and core types, and parsing
+ *   command line arguments to configure things accordingly.
+ *   If p_second_phase is true, it will chain into setup2() (default behaviour). This is
+ *   disabled on some platforms (Android, iOS, UWP) which trigger the second step in their
+ *   own time.
+ *
+ * - setup2(p_main_tid_override) registers high level servers and singletons, displays the
+ *   boot splash, then registers higher level types (scene, editor, etc.).
+ *
+ * - start() is the last step and that's where command line tools can run, or the main loop
+ *   can be created eventually and the project settings put into action. That's also where
+ *   the editor node is created, if relevant.
+ *   start() does it own argument parsing for a subset of the command line arguments described
+ *   in help, it's a bit messy and should be globalized with the setup() parsing somehow.
