	/** A world section which includes paged terrain. 
	@remarks
		Rather than implement terrain paging as a PageContent subclass, because terrain
		benefits from direct knowledge of neighbour arrangements and the tight
		coupling between that and the paging strategy, instead we use a PagedWorldSection
		subclass. This automatically provides a PageStrategy subclass of the
		correct type (Grid2DPageStrategy) and derives the correct settings for
		it compared to the terrain being used. This frees the user from having to 
		try to match all these up through the generic interfaces. 
	@par
		When creating this in code, the user should make use of the helper
		functions on the TerrainPaging class. The basic sequence is that 
		you define your terrain settings in a TerrainGroup, and then create an 
		instance of TerrainPagedWorldSection via TerrainPaging::createWorldSection. 
		That's basically all there is to it - the normal rules of TerrainGroup
		apply, it's just that instead of having to choose when to try to load / unload
		pages from the TerrainGroup, that is automatically done by the paging system.
		You can also create other types of content in this PagedWorldSection other
		than terrain, it's just that this comes with terrain handling built-in.
	@par
		When this world data is saved, you basically get 3 sets of data - firstly
		the top-level 'world data' which is where the definition of the world
		sections are stored (and hence, the definition of this class, although none
		of the terrain instance content is included). Secondly, you get a number
		of .page files which include any other content that you might have inserted
		into the pages. Lastly, you get the standard terrain data files which are
		saved as per TerrainGroup.
