-<h3>Fix problem with numeric soft events</h3>
-<p>Changing from numeric to named soft events introduced an incompatibility
-when a numeric event is converted from a DOUBLE, e.g. from a calc record.
-To make named events backward compatible to numeric events, the logic has
-changed as follows:</p>
-<ul><li>Leading and trailing spaces are strippd from the event name
-    <li>Empty event names are no events
-    <li>If the event name can be converted to double:
-    <ul><li>If the double is not finite (inf or nan) it is no event.
-        <li>If the double truncated to integer is between 1 and 255
-            it is a numeric event. Its name is changed to the decimal
-            integer representation.
-        <li>If the double truncated to integer is 0 it is no event.
-    </ul>
-    <li>All other cases are named events
-</ul>
