We were using `String.prototype.replace()` without addressing the
wrinkle that dollar signs in the replacement string have special
handling. This caused problems in situations where the replacement
string is derived from user input and contains dollar signs.
Fixes#2517
There are still some warnings about making functions in a loop, but
I’ll fix those as a separate pull request because the fixes are more
than typographic errors.
Getting rid of the old widget mechanism files finally gives us a payoff
for all the refactoring. Still a bit of tidying up to do, and we need
to re-introduce the animation mechanisms.
Get rid of the separate renderContext stack and instead have a parent
pointer on renderer nodes. This lets us walk back up the render tree to
resolve context references
This arrangement takes better advantage of the similarities between the
now deleted widget renderer and the element renderer. It also obviates
the need for wrapper elements around every widget.
