 * fix: make sure `removeNode()` uses internal _id (unique) and not node itself (since we clone those often)
 * fix: after calling `addRemoveCB` make sure we don't makeWidget() (incorrectly) a second time
 * break: `GridStackWidget.id` is now string only (used to be numberOrString) as it causes usage to have to check and cast
