//       Class : FltInstanceDefinition
// Description : This special kind of record marks the top node of an
//               instance subtree.  This subtree lives outside of the
//               normal hierarchy, and is MultiGen's way of supporting
//               instancing--each instance subtree has a unique index,
//               which may be referenced in a FltInstanceRef object to
//               make the instance appear in various places in the
//               hierarchy.
