-iOS 7 and Auto Layout
----------------------
-In iOS 7 Apple added the concept of translucent / transparent bars (tab bars,
-navigation bars, toolbars, the status bar) and of views that extend behind
-those bars. Despite a variety of APIs that allow the developer to control the
-behaviour of view controllers, I have had a lot of trouble adapting the app to
-the new concept - possibly this has to do with the fact that, personally, I find
-the concept quite silly.
-
-Reasons for the current layout:
-- When not zoomed the Go board is drawn so that it fully fits into the visible
-  area, with no scrolling possible. In this mode it doesn't make sense to let
-  the wooden background extend behind bars.
-- When zoomed the Go board can be scrolled. I have decided that in this mode I
-  also don't want the board to extend behind bars. After all this is a game app,
-  not a document viewing app.
-
-These decisions require a number of view controller configuration steps to make
-the app look right. Here is an overview:
-- To prevent the board from extending behind the status bar, Auto Layout
-  constraints like this have been added in various places:
-    [NSString stringWithFormat:@"V:|-%d-[navigationBarView]", [UiElementMetrics statusBarHeight]],
-  The key too look for is the UiElementMetrics class method statusBarHeight.
-- UIViewController.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = NO
-  - Applied to all types of PlayRootViewController
-  - Is required so that BoardView does not allow scrolling when not zoomed (e.g.
-    directly after application launch)
-  - Is required so that the bottom rows of the board position list table view
-    (which is a scroll view) remain visible after a portrait-to-landscape
-    interface rotation
-  - Although PlayRootViewController view controllers do not themselves contain
-    any scroll views, apparently this property is somehow propagated to those
-    child view controllers that *do* have scroll views. Surprisingly (and beyond
-    comprehension) the same propagation mechanism no longer works if
-    automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets is set on the parent view controller
-    of PlayRootViewController. What is the logic behind this? I don't know :-(
-- UIViewController.edgesForExtendedLayout has been set in various places
-  - TODO Where and why?
