This is recommended as a best practice, though AFAIK this only matters
for projects that are going to be imported by other projects.
For instance, you used to be able to include `:deps:extension-api` by
including any extension that depended on it. Now, every project that
wants to use `extension-api` has to include it directly. (Which is fine
because in practice, they all already do so.)
vorbisFile.timeTell() returns the current decoding offset in seconds,
and it's updated each time vorisFile.read() is called. Since data is
buffered by calling vorbisFile.read() multiple times, the associated
time values also need to be preserved in order to get the correct time
offset.
Without this change, getCurrentTime() will return some time in the
future relative to the amount of buffered data.

The documentation tells you to be careful about this, since you're
putting local-only information into a file that gets uploaded to version
control, but Lime doesn't really need to worry about that.
Granted, Lime DID use local.properties, but that's no longer practical.
I can't think of any practical reasons for an Android extension to compile an ndll. All of Android's system functions require Java, not C++, and you can get the speed of C++ just by writing Haxe code.
I surveyed several Android extensions on lib.haxe.org, and not one of them used ndlls when targeting Android.
Turns out, `HTTPRequest`'s call is only needed for internet requests.
Files on the local machine will be loaded directly into `bytes`, leaving
`buffer` empty. Calling `buildBuffer()` will then delete the data.
Pros: It's a standard Haxe feature that other Haxelibs may rely on. Plus
it offers built-in thread safety, unlike `onUpdate`.
Cons: It incurs two `mutex.acquire()` calls per frame.
Otherwise it throws the following error on build:
"Apps targeting Android 12 and higher are required to specify an explicit value for `android:exported` when the corresponding component has an intent filter defined. See https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element#exported for details."
To publish apps on Google Play everyone needs to target SDK 31+, which is Android 12+, so this is like a must now.
If "true", the activity is accessible to any app, and is launchable by its exact class name.
If "false", the activity can be launched only by components of the same application, applications with the same user ID, or privileged system components. This is the default value when there are no intent filters.
