Experimental Feature: Ctrl-Click on the "name" of a broken F-Curve now allows

you to fix the RNA Path in-place

For F-Curves that are disabled or marked as having errors because their paths
are invalid (indicated with a red line underneath their names), it is now
possible to use the Ctrl-Click renaming functionality to bring up a textbox for
fixing the offending RNA Path "in place" (i.e. in the channels list) without
having to bring up the properties region first.

This makes it easier to fix the paths if you know what you're doing. However,
caution is still advised for most people. In particular, be aware that this uses
a separate "RNA Array Index" for indexing into array properties (i.e. location,
rotation, color) which will not be shown here, and can only be edited from the
panel (or datablocks editor/scripts).
