//! \ingroup OpenMaya
//! \brief Indexable Array of attribute patterns. 
/*!
Provides methods for manipulating arrays of attribute patterns.

Arrays of attribute patterns are used when constructing pattern lists from a
string or file description. Since there's no way of knowing in advance how many
will be created from a given description this general purpose array was needed.

The length of the array adjusts automatically.
