I didn't look too far for alternative names after I discovered `showing` would
not be possible. The name comes from `isTreeShowing` which is used for a
similar purpose (inside `Node`) and from `conditionOnShowing` in ReactFX.
The name needs to imply that visibility has no effect on it (ie,
`setVisible(false)` won't toggle it). Neither does it check if the node isn't
covered or off screen.
In theory you could use a more general name (like `active` as in "part of an
active currently showing scene graph"). `isActive` seems to even be
available...
A name like "used" or "inUse" may also work (as in "indicates the node is
currently used as part of a currently showing scene graph".
