    /** Class defining a single pass of a Technique (of a Material), i.e.
        a single rendering call.
    @remarks
        Rendering can be repeated with many passes for more complex effects.
        Each pass is either a fixed-function pass (meaning it does not use
        a vertex or fragment program) or a programmable pass (meaning it does
        use either a vertex and fragment program, or both).
    @par
        Programmable passes are complex to define, because they require custom
        programs and you have to set all constant inputs to the programs (like
        the position of lights, any base material colours you wish to use etc), but
        they do give you much total flexibility over the algorithms used to render your
        pass, and you can create some effects which are impossible with a fixed-function pass.
        On the other hand, you can define a fixed-function pass in very little time, and
        you can use a range of fixed-function effects like environment mapping very
        easily, plus your pass will be more likely to be compatible with older hardware.
        There are pros and cons to both, just remember that if you use a programmable
        pass to create some great effects, allow more time for definition and testing.

			The default behaviour for a pass (when this option is 'false'), is
			for a pass to be rendered only once (or the number of times set in
			setPassIterationCount), with all the lights which could
			affect this object set at the same time (up to the maximum lights
			allowed in the render system, which is typically 8).
		@par
			Setting this option to 'true' changes this behaviour, such that
			instead of trying to issue render this pass once per object, it
			is run <b>per light</b>, or for a group of 'n' lights each time
			which can affect this object, the number of
			times set in setPassIterationCount (default is once). In
			this case, only light index 0 is ever used, and is a different light
			every time the pass is issued, up to the total number of lights
			which is affecting this object. This has 2 advantages:
			<ul><li>There is no limit on the number of lights which can be
			supported</li>
			<li>It's easier to write vertex / fragment programs for this because
			a single program can be used for any number of lights</li>
			</ul>
			However, this technique is more expensive, and typically you
			will want an additional ambient pass, because if no lights are 
			affecting the object it will not be rendered at all, which will look
			odd even if ambient light is zero (imagine if there are lit objects
			behind it - the objects silhouette would not show up). Therefore,
			use this option with care, and you would be well advised to provide
			a less expensive fallback technique for use in the distance.
		@note
			The number of times this pass runs is still limited by the maximum
			number of lights allowed as set in setMaxSimultaneousLights, so
			you will never get more passes than this. Also, the iteration is
			started from the 'start light' as set in Pass::setStartLight, and
			the number of passes is the number of lights to iterate over divided
			by the number of lights per iteration (default 1, set by 
			setLightCountPerIteration).

		@remarks
			In order to cut down on the geometry set up to render this pass 
			when you have a single fixed-range light being rendered through it, 
			you can enable this option to request that during triangle setup, 
			clip planes are defined to bound the range of the light. In the case
			of a point light these planes form a cube, and in the case of 
			a spotlight they form a pyramid. Directional lights are never clipped.
		@par
			This option is only likely to be useful for multipass additive lighting 
			algorithms, where the scene has already been 'seeded' with an ambient 
			pass and this pass is just adding light in affected areas. In addition,
			it will only be honoured if there is exactly one non-directional light
			being used in this pass. Also, these clip planes override any user clip
			planes set on Camera.
		@note
			When using SHADOWTYPE_STENCIL_ADDITIVE or SHADOWTYPE_TEXTURE_ADDITIVE,
			this option is automatically used for all per-light passes if you 
			enable SceneManager::setShadowUseLightClipPlanes and does
			not need to be specified. It is disabled by default since clip planes have
			a cost of their own which may not always exceed the benefits they give you.

		/** Manually set which illumination stage this pass is a member of.
		@remarks
			When using an additive lighting mode (SHADOWTYPE_STENCIL_ADDITIVE or
			SHADOWTYPE_TEXTURE_ADDITIVE), the scene is rendered in 3 discrete
			stages, ambient (or pre-lighting), per-light (once per light, with 
			shadowing) and decal (or post-lighting). Usually OGRE figures out how
			to categorise your passes automatically, but there are some effects you
			cannot achieve without manually controlling the illumination. For example
			specular effects are muted by the typical sequence because all textures
			are saved until the IS_DECAL stage which mutes the specular effect. 
			Instead, you could do texturing within the per-light stage if it's
			possible for your material and thus add the specular on after the
			decal texturing, and have no post-light rendering. 
		@par
			If you assign an illumination stage to a pass you have to assign it
			to all passes in the technique otherwise it will be ignored. Also note
			that whilst you can have more than one pass in each group, they cannot
			alternate, ie all ambient passes will be before all per-light passes, 
			which will also be before all decal passes. Within their categories
			the passes will retain their ordering though.
