/** This structure contains all the document/view context required
  for an action. Some actions may be executed on a document without
  requiring a GUI, hence not providing the info directly through
  Inkscape::UI::View::View. Actions that do require GUI objects should
  check to see if the relevant pointers are NULL before attempting to
  use them.

  TODO: we store a UI::View::View* because that's what the actions and verbs
  used to take as parameters in their methods. Why is this? They almost
  always seemed to cast straight to an SPDesktop* - so shouldn't we actually
  be storing an SPDesktop*? Is there a case where a non-SPDesktop
  UI::View::View is used by the actions? YES: Command-line wihtout GUI.
  
  ActionContext is designed to be copyable, so it may be used with stack
  storage if required. */
