Behavior lifecycle: On enable, On disable and On destroy events (#42)
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 7m29s

Order per instance: On start -> On enable -> On update ... -> On disable
-> On destroy. On enable fires right after On start and whenever the
behavior comes back on (itself and its parents); On disable in the frame
it goes off, the instance stays frozen. On destroy fires when the entity
leaves the world (Destroy node, child of a destroyed object) and when the
world is torn down on stop/restart, preceded by On disable if still on.
A new On start node added while playing still does not fire for a
running instance (kept as is, documented in the wiki).
