//       Class : ModelPool
// Description : This class unifies all references to the same
//               filename, so that multiple attempts to load the same
//               model will return the same pointer.  Note that the
//               default behavior is thus to make instances: use with
//               caution.  Use the copy_subgraph() method on Node (or
//               use NodePath::copy_to) to make modifiable copies of
//               the node.
//
//               Unlike TexturePool, this class does not automatically
//               resolve the model filenames before loading, so a
//               relative path and an absolute path to the same model
//               will appear to be different filenames.
//
//               However, see the Loader class, which is now the
//               preferred interface for loading models.  The Loader
//               class can resolve filenames, supports threaded
//               loading, and can automatically consult the ModelPool,
//               according to the supplied LoaderOptions.
