* Add TextModel and TextLayer types
* Make View refresh work better when editing a model (previously edits might
  not be refreshed if their visible changed area extended beyond the strict
  frame range that was being modified in the model)
* Add phase-adjusted instantaneous frequency display to spectrogram layer
  (still a work in progress)
* Pull maths aliases out into a separate header in dsp/maths so MathUtilities
  can be included without introducing them

/**
 * A Transform turns one data model into another.
 *
 * Typically in this application, a Transform might have a
 * DenseTimeValueModel as its input (e.g. an audio waveform) and a
 * SparseOneDimensionalModel (e.g. detected beats) as its output.
 *
 * The Transform typically runs in the background, as a separate
 * thread populating the output model.  The model is available to the
 * user of the Transform immediately, but may be initially empty until
 * the background thread has populated it.
