Every edit of an object copied its whole appearance (its fills, strokes and effects, about
540 bytes for a basic object) into the new node, though a move leaves it as it is. Over 45
whole-selection moves of 10,000 paths, undo history grew by 589 MB; now 349 MB (41 % less), and
a nudge or a drag of the selection takes 12 ms instead of 15.
- Node::appearance is a vectorcraft_doc::Shared<Appearance>: copy-on-write. A clone shares it,
and the first change through DerefMut copies it (Arc::make_mut). Reads, writes, equality (also
against a plain Appearance) and the saved form are those of the Appearance itself, so call
sites read and change it as before. Sites that build or assign a whole appearance add .into(),
and the few that need a plain copy take (*n.appearance).clone().
- Node::transform changes the appearance only when it has gradients to transform, and pattern
paints are transformed only when there are some: a move no longer copies an appearance it
doesn't change.
The workspace suite (5,301 tests) and clippy pass with the change; the doc and engine suites
pass again after the transform guard.

Scaling with Scale Strokes & Effects on now scales stroke weights, dash
lengths and dash offsets and every distance parameter of object, fill and
stroke effects (groups and layers too), from new length metadata in the
effects catalogue. Off, nothing painted changes size and type keeps its
character strokes' weight. Scale Corners off keeps live corner radii.
object.scale/transform/transformEach take strokes?/corners? (default: the
preferences) and journal the values they used. The Scale dialog and a new
Transform Each dialog get both checkboxes, kept as the preferences on OK;
the panels' toggles go through prefs.set.

Object > Pattern > Tile Edge Color... picks the colour of the tile edge
(a layer-colour preset or a custom colour), stored in the preference
patternTileEdgeColor and passed to the renderer. Pattern Options gains
Show Swatch Bounds: a dashed outline of the part of the tiling the swatch
repeats (the period of brick and hex tilings).
Commands: prefs.set {patternTileEdgeColor}, pattern.options
{showSwatchBounds}, ui.tileEdgeColor. Model: PatternDef.show_swatch_bounds.
