/// implemented. Notable missing features include:
///
/// - Sidechain inputs
/// - Multiple output busses
/// - Special handling for offline processing
/// - Transport and other context information in the process call
/// - Sample accurate automation (this would be great, but sadly few hosts even support it so until
///   they do we'll ignore that it's a thing)
/// - Parameter hierarchies/groups
/// - Bypass parameters, right now the VST3 wrapper generates one for you
/// - Outputting parameter changes from the plugin
/// - MIDI CC handling
/// - Outputting MIDI events
