//       Class : BoundingVolume
// Description : This is an abstract class for any volume in any sense
//               which can be said to define the locality of reference
//               of a node in a graph, along with all of its
//               descendants.  It is not necessarily a geometric
//               volume (although see GeometricBoundingVolume); this
//               is simply an abstract interface for bounds of any
//               sort.
