Remarks

This is the abstract base class for all state elements. This class defines the following features for all of its derived classes:

Type identifiers: Each class of element has a unique (static) SoType identifier. The correct type id is also stored in each instance for easy access.

Copying: Elements are copied into the list of elements used in an OIV.Inventor.Caches.SoCache. Performing any operation other than matches() on a copied element is not guaranteed to work (and will not work for things like Coordinates, if the coordinate they were pointing to has been deleted).

Stack indices: Since a subclass of an element class needs to be in the same state stack as the class from which it is derived, stack indices are inherited.

Capturing: Each time an element's value is accessed, that element is added to the elements-used list of all currently open caches.
