			'''Update''' (16/12/2018): All timeline-related structures are now known thanks to Nintendo shipping the EventFlow library with full symbols in another game. Some fields are still unknown at the moment, though (see [https://github.com/leoetlino/bfevfl-template/blob/master/timeline.bt leoetlino/bfevfl-template:timeline.bt] and [https://github.com/leoetlino/bfevfl-template/blob/master/actor.bt leoetlino/bfevfl-template:actor.bt] for more details).
