I think we're pretty close with 3rd redesign attempt.
Basically we have a way to store more informations about the Timeline,
and we just need to find out what to do in which case.
I belive code handling corner cases should now be in the
sprite_instance::{add,move,replace}_display_object methods.

I suggest anyone working on this define NEW_TIMELINE_DESIGN to 3 and
try figuring out what's going wrong. Note that swfdec testsuite is
also important to have here, as it is adding MovieTester-based runner
for the replace_shapes1test.swf and replace_sprites1test.swf movies
as visual handling of them is different. I'll work on the latter next.
