//
// A NodePath is the fundamental unit of high-level interaction with
// the scene graph.  It encapsulates the complete path down to a node
// from some other node, usually the root of the scene graph.  This is
// used to resolve ambiguities associated with instancing.
//
// NodePath also contains a number of handy high-level methods for
// common scene-graph manipulations, such as reparenting, and common
// state changes, such as repositioning.
//
// There are also a number of NodePath methods for finding nodes deep
// within the tree by name or by type.  These take a path string,
// which at its simplest consists of a series of node names separated
// by slashes, like a directory pathname.
//
// Each component of the path string may optionally consist of one of
// the following special names, instead of a node name:
//
//   *          -- matches exactly one node, with any name.
//   **         -- matches any sequence of zero or more nodes.
//   +typename  -- matches any node that is or derives from the given type.
//   -typename  -- matches any node that is the given type exactly.
//   =tag       -- matches any node that has the indicated tag.
//   =tag=value -- matches any node whose tag matches the indicated value.
//
// Furthermore, a node name may itself contain standard filename
// globbing characters, like *, ?, and [a-z], that will be accepted as
// a partial match.  (In fact, the '*' special name may be seen as
// just a special case of this.)  The globbing characters may not be
// used with the typename matches or with tag matches, but they may
// be used to match a tag's value in the =tag=value syntax.
//
// The special characters "@@", appearing at the beginning of a node
// name, indicate a stashed node.  Normally, stashed nodes are not
// returned by a find (but see the special flags, below), but a
// stashed node may be found if it is explicitly named with its
// leading @@ characters.  By extension, "@@*" may be used to identify
// any stashed node.
//
// Examples:
//
// "room//graph" will look for a node named "graph", which is a child
// of an unnamed node, which is a child of a node named "room", which
// is a child of the starting path.
//
// "**/red*" will look for any node anywhere in the tree (below the
// starting path) with a name that begins with "red".
//
// "**/+PartBundleNode/**/head" will look for a node named "head",
// somewhere below a PartBundleNode anywhere in the tree.
//
//
// The search is always potentially ambiguous, even if the special
// wildcard operators are not used, because there may be multiple
// nodes in the tree with the same name.  In general, in the case of
// an ambiguity, the shortest path is preferred; when a method (such
// as extend_by) must choose only only one of several possible paths,
// it will choose the shortest available; on the other hand, when a
// method (such as find_all_matches) is to return all of the matching
// paths, it will sort them so that the shortest paths appear first in
// the output.
//
//
// Special flags.  The entire string may optionally be followed by the
// ";" character, followed by one or more of the following special
// control flags, with no intervening spaces or punctuation:
//
//    -h    Do not return hidden nodes.
//    +h    Do return hidden nodes.
//    -s    Do not return stashed nodes unless explicitly referenced with @@.
//    +s    Return stashed nodes even without any explicit @@ characters.
//    -i    Node name comparisons are not case insensitive: case must match
//          exactly.
//    +i    Node name comparisons are case insensitive: case is not important.
//          This affects matches against the node name only; node type
//          and tag strings are always case sensitive.
//
// The default flags are +h-s-i.

//       Class : NodePath
// Description : NodePath is the fundamental system for disambiguating
//               instances, and also provides a higher-level interface
//               for manipulating the scene graph.
//
//               A NodePath is a list of connected nodes from the root
//               of the graph to any sub-node.  Each NodePath
//               therefore uniquely describes one instance of a node.
//
//               NodePaths themselves are lightweight objects that may
//               easily be copied and passed by value.  Their data is
//               stored as a series of NodePathComponents that are
//               stored on the nodes.  Holding a NodePath will keep a
//               reference count to all the nodes in the path.
//               However, if any node in the path is removed or
//               reparented (perhaps through a different NodePath),
//               the NodePath will automatically be updated to reflect
//               the changes.
