+X implement displayDensity(int), it's been returning the main display's value
+X show 'displays have separate spaces' notice in the console
+X   allows us to get rid of JOptionPane
+X show 'displays have separate spaces' message when the param is unset
+X   Catalina seems to have it un-set, but the default is the same
+
+_ static versions of selectInput/selectOutput/selectFolder in PApplet have been removed
+
+_ Surface not available inside handleSettings()
+_   therefore impossible to get displays, displayWidth/Height, and pixelDensity
+_   should surface be set on command line?
+_   or can we just require that size() goes first, and inits surface *type* w/o sizes
+_   or even that it inits a surface-specific class for getting that info
