//       Class : ModelNode
// Description : This node is placed at key points within the scene
//               graph to indicate the roots of "models": subtrees
//               that are conceptually to be treated as a single unit,
//               like a car or a room, for instance.  It doesn't
//               affect rendering or any other operations; it's
//               primarily useful as a high-level model indication.
//
//               ModelNodes are created in response to a <Model> { 1 }
//               flag within an egg file.
