//! \brief Dependency node data block. 
/*!
An MDataBlock provides storage for the data being received by or sent by the
node.  It is the data for the plugs and attributes of the node.  The data
block is only valid during the compute method of the depend node.  Pointers to
the data block should not be retained after the compute method.

Access to the data in an MDataBlock is done using an MDataHandle or an
MArrayDataHandle.
