        other entities.
    @remarks
        A Skeleton, like a Mesh, is shared between Entity objects and simply updated as required
        when it comes to rendering. However there are times when you want to attach another object
        to an animated entity, and make sure that attachment follows the parent entity's animation
        (for example, a character holding a gun in his / her hand). This class simply identifies
        attachment points on a skeleton which can be used to attach child objects. 
    @par
        The child objects themselves are not physically attached to this class; as it's name suggests
        this class just 'tags' the area. The actual child objects are attached to the Entity using the
        skeleton which has this tag point. Use the Entity::attachMovableObjectToBone method to attach
        the objects, which creates a new TagPoint on demand.
