//
// CLASS DESCRIPTION (MFnGenericAttribute)
// 
// MFnGenericAttribute is a function set for attributes that can accept
// several types of data.  A generic attribute is similar to a typed
// attribute (MFnTypedAttribute) except that it has a list of types that
// it considers valid.
// 
// If the attribute will only take one type of data then it is more
// efficient to use one of the other attribute function sets such as
// MFnTypedAttribute or MFnNumericAttribute.
