//       Class : ModelPool
// Description : This is the preferred interface for loading models.
//               It unifies all references to the same filename, so
//               that multiple attempts to load the same model will
//               return the same pointer.  Note that the default
//               behavior is thus to make instances: use with caution.
//               Use the copy_subgraph() method on Node (or use
//               NodePath::copy_to) to make modifiable copies of the
//               node.
//
//               Unlike TexturePool, this class does not automatically
//               resolve the model filenames before loading, so a
//               relative path and an absolute path to the same model
//               will appear to be different filenames.
//
//               This does not presently support asynchronous loading,
//               although it wouldn't be *too* difficult to add.
