// There are three fundamental types of lerp channel: tabular/keyframe,
// procedural, and composite.  Tabular channels may have an interpolator
// associated with them, to determine values between samples.  Proceedural
// channels compute each data point as needed.  Composite channels can be
// either blending or concatenation objects.  Blending objects take some
// number of channels as input, apply a blending function to them in order
// to yield what appears to be a single channel.  Concatenation objects
// take some number of channels as input and string them end-to-end to yield
// what appears to be a single channel.
