Yes it is. Commit 11403.
As a side note: that these tests you've done, though seemingly
repetitive, are not superflous because they are checking that the
virtual methods (IsConnected...) are bound to the correct concrete class
code. If somebody remove the "virtual" (and provide a void
implementation) this tests will trigger.

Yes. Basically you'll need to understand the Processing base class and
its ControlGroups and how controls are registered to the processing.
