// CLASS:    MFnBase
//
// *****************************************************************************
//
// CLASS DESCRIPTION (MFnBase)
//
// The API provides access to Maya Objects as generic MObjects.  Under the
// C++ class scheme MObjects simply have type MObject with no base or
// derived hierarchy.  However,  MObjects may be many different types of
// model or scene objects, from Attributes to Xforms, within Maya.  This
// allows many different types of objects to be moved across or accessed
// through the API without undue concern on the part of plug-in developers
// for the type of object being manipulated.
// 
// Since it is impractical to provide every applicable method on MObjects,
// the methods applicable to Maya Objects are encapsulated in Function
// Sets.  Function Sets can be attached to compatible MObjects to provide
// an external interface to methods appropriate to that MObject.
// 
// The link between an MObject and the role it performs as a Maya scene or
// model object, as well as the compatibility between MObjects and
// Function Sets is managed by the API Run-Time Type Identification (RTTI)
// system.  The two key concepts of this system are the Maya Object type
// and the Function Set type (both are MFn::Type).  All MObjects have
// one and only one Maya Object type.  All Function Sets have one and only
// one Function Set type.  MObjects may, however, be compatible with many
// types of Function Sets.  This compatibility follows the class hierarchy
// of the Function Sets.  Thus an MObject with Maya Object type
// MFn::kNurbsSurface would be compatible with MFnNurbsSurface,
// MFnDagNode, MFnDependencyNode, MFnNamedObject and MFnBase.
// 
// Any MObject can be queried with the MObject::hasFn() method to
// determine if it is comaptible with a given Function Set.
// 
// The purpose of the Base Function Set (MFnBase) is to provide methods
// for determining whether or not a Function Set is compatible with a
// given Maya Object (MObject) type (MFn::Type) or a specific MObject.  See:
// 				MFnBase::hasObj(MFn::Type)
// 						and
// 				MFnBase::hasObj(const MObject &)
// 
// As well, this Function Set provides virtual methods for determining the
// type of a Function Set under the API RTTI system.
