/**
 * The @c daeMetaAttribute class describes one attribute in a C++ COLLADA dom element.
 *
 * In the case of the C++ object model a conceptual attribute can be
 * either a dom attribute, a dom element, or a dom value.
 * Essentially, the meta attribute describes fields on the C++ class.
 * However these attributes are stored separately in the containing meta
 * @c daeMetaElement.
 * @c daeMetaAttributes always exist inside of @c daeMetaElements.
 * Each @c daeMetaAttribute has certain semantic operations it is capable of
 * including @c set(), @c get(), and @c print().
 * @c daeMetaAttributes use the @c daeAtomicType system as their underlying semantic
 * implementation, but contain additional information about the packaging
 * of the atomic types into the C++ dom classes such as offset, and
 * array information.
