            This interface abstracts renderable discrete objects which will be queued in the render pipeline,
            grouped by material. Classes implementing this interface must be based on a single material, a single
            world matrix (or a collection of world matrices which are blended by weights), and must be 
            renderable via a single render operation.
        @par
            Note that deciding whether to put these objects in the rendering pipeline is done from the more specific
            classes e.g. entities. Only once it is decided that the specific class is to be rendered is the abstract version
            created (could be more than one per visible object) and pushed onto the rendering queue.

			OGRE is a queued renderer, so the actual render commands are executed

			visible. This allows ordering & grouping of renders without the discovery
			process having to be aware of it. It also means OGRE uses declarative
			render information rather than immediate mode rendering - this is very useful
			in that certain effects and processes can automatically be applied to 
			a wide range of scenes, but the downside is that special cases are
			more difficult to handle, because there is not the declared state to 
			cope with it. 
		@par
			This method allows a Renderable to do something special at the actual
			point of rendering if it wishes to. When this method is called, all the
			material render state as declared by this Renderable has already been set, 
			all that is left to do is to bind the buffers and perform the render. 
			The Renderable may modify render state itself if it wants to (and restore it in the 
			postRender call) before the automated render happens, or by returning
			'false' from this method can actually suppress the automatic render
			and perform one of its own.
		@return
			true if the automatic render should proceed, false to skip it on 
			the assumption that the Renderable has done it manually.

            which parameter is being updated. The implementation of this method
            must identify the parameter being updated, and call a 'setConstant' 
            method on the passed in GpuProgramParameters object, using the details
            provided in the incoming auto constant setting to identify the index
            at which to set the parameter.

            sets of data associated with the Renderable as provided by setCustomParameter
            and getCustomParameter. By default, the implementation will map from the
            value indexed by the 'constantEntry.data' parameter to a value previously

            this if they want, in any case.
