/// Core functionality for class manipulation.
///
/// @section AbstractClassRep_intro Introduction (or, Why AbstractClassRep?)
///
/// Many of Torque's subsystems, especially network, console, and sim,
/// require the ability to programatically instantiate classes. For instance,
/// when objects are ghosted, the networking layer needs to be able to create
/// an instance of the object on the client. When the console scripting
/// language runtime encounters the "new" keyword, it has to be able to fill
/// that request.
///
/// Since standard C++ doesn't provide a function to create a new instance of
/// an arbitrary class at runtime, one must be created. This is what
/// AbstractClassRep and ConcreteClassRep are all about. They allow the registration
/// and instantiation of arbitrary classes at runtime.
///
/// In addition, ACR keeps track of the fields (registered via addField() and co.) of
/// a class, allowing programmatic access of class fields.
///
/// @see ConsoleObject
///
/// @note In general, you will only access the functionality implemented in this class via
///       ConsoleObject::create(). Most of the time, you will only ever need to use this part
///       part of the engine indirectly - ie, you will use the networking system or the console,
///       or ConsoleObject, and they will indirectly use this code. <b>The following discussion
///       is really only relevant for advanced engine users.</b>
///
/// @section AbstractClassRep_netstuff NetClasses and Class IDs
///
/// Torque supports a notion of group, type, and direction for objects passed over
/// the network. Class IDs are assigned sequentially per-group, per-type, so that, for instance,
/// the IDs assigned to Datablocks are seperate from the IDs assigned to NetObjects or NetEvents.
/// This can translate into significant bandwidth savings (especially since the size of the fields
/// for transmitting these bits are determined at run-time based on the number of IDs given out.
///
/// @section AbstractClassRep_details AbstractClassRep Internals
///
/// Much like ConsoleConstructor, ACR does some preparatory work at runtime before execution
/// is passed to main(). In actual fact, this preparatory work is done by the ConcreteClassRep
/// template. Let's examine this more closely.
///
/// If we examine ConsoleObject, we see that two macros must be used in the definition of a
/// properly integrated objects. From the ConsoleObject example:
///
/// @code
///      // This is from inside the class definition...
///      DECLARE_CONOBJECT(TorqueObject);
///
/// // And this is from outside the class definition...
/// IMPLEMENT_CONOBJECT(TorqueObject);
/// @endcode
///
/// What do these things actually do?
///
/// Not all that much, in fact. They expand to code something like this:
///
/// @code
///      // This is from inside the class definition...
///      static ConcreteClassRep<TorqueObject> dynClassRep;
///      static AbstractClassRep* getParentStaticClassRep();
///      static AbstractClassRep* getStaticClassRep();
///      virtual AbstractClassRep* getClassRep() const;
/// @endcode
///
/// @code
/// // And this is from outside the class definition...
/// AbstractClassRep* TorqueObject::getClassRep() const { return &TorqueObject::dynClassRep; }
/// AbstractClassRep* TorqueObject::getStaticClassRep() { return &dynClassRep; }
/// AbstractClassRep* TorqueObject::getParentStaticClassRep() { return Parent::getStaticClassRep(); }
/// ConcreteClassRep<TorqueObject> TorqueObject::dynClassRep("TorqueObject", 0, -1, 0);
/// @endcode
///
/// As you can see, getClassRep(), getStaticClassRep(), and getParentStaticClassRep() are just
/// accessors to allow access to various ConcreteClassRep instances. This is where the Parent
/// typedef comes into play as well - it lets getParentStaticClassRep() get the right
/// class rep.
///
/// In addition, dynClassRep is declared as a member of TorqueObject, and defined later
/// on. Much like ConsoleConstructor, ConcreteClassReps add themselves to a global linked
/// list in their constructor.
///
/// Then, when AbstractClassRep::initialize() is called, from Con::init(), we iterate through
/// the list and perform the following tasks:
///      - Sets up a Namespace for each class.
///      - Call the init() method on each ConcreteClassRep. This method:
///         - Links namespaces between parent and child classes, using Con::classLinkNamespaces.
///         - Calls initPersistFields() and consoleInit().
///      - As a result of calling initPersistFields, the field list for the class is populated.
///      - Assigns network IDs for classes based on their NetGroup membership. Determines
///        bit allocations for network ID fields.
