// CLASS:    MMessage
//
// *****************************************************************************
//
// CLASS DESCRIPTION (MMessage)
//
// This is the base class for message callbacks.
// 
// There are three types of messages in maya that are exposed through the
// API and they are the following:
// scene messages, dependency graph messages, and dependency node messages.
// can be registered for these messages using the addCallback
// methods of the MSceneMessage, MDGMessage, and MNodeMessage classes.
// 
// When a callback is added a number or id is returned. This id is used to
// keep track of the callback and is necessary for removing it.
// A callback id with the value 'NULL' represents an invalid callback.
// Use the removeCallback member function of this class for removing a
// callback.
//
// It is the user's responsibility to keep track of the callback id's
// and remove all callbacks for a plug-in when it is unloaded.
