    /** Resource holding data about 3D mesh.

        This class holds the data used to represent a discrete

        3-dimensional object. Mesh data usually contains more

        than just vertices and triangle information; it also

        includes references to materials (and the faces which use them),

        level-of-detail reduction information, convex hull definition,

        skeleton/bones information, keyframe animation etc.

        However, it is important to note the emphasis on the word

        'discrete' here. This class does not cover the large-scale

        sprawling geometry found in level / landscape data.

    @par

        Multiple world objects can (indeed should) be created from a

        single mesh object - see the Entity class for more info.

        The mesh object will have it's own default

        material properties, but potentially each world instance may

        wish to customise the materials from the original. When the object

        is instantiated into a scene node, the mesh material properties

        will be taken by default but may be changed. These properties

        are actually held at the SubMesh level since a single mesh may

        have parts with different materials.

    @par

        As described above, because the mesh may have sections of differing

        material properties, a mesh is inherently a compound construct,

        consisting of one or more SubMesh objects.

        However, it strongly 'owns' it's SubMeshes such that they

        are loaded / unloaded at the same time. This is contrary to

        the approach taken to hierarchically related (but loosely owned)

        scene nodes, where data is loaded / unloaded separately. Note

        also that mesh sub-sections (when used in an instantiated object)

        share the same scene node as the parent.

            We collect actually used bones of all bone assignments, and build the

            more bones for a mesh when hardware skinning is used. The hardware skinning

            support limit is applied to each set of vertex data in the mesh, in other words, the

            hardware skinning support limit is applied only to the actually used bones of each

            SubMeshes, not all bones across the entire Mesh.

        @par
