//! \brief Compound attribute function set. 
/*!
   MFnCompoundAttribute is the function set for compound dependency node
   attributes.

   Compound attributes allow the grouping of related attributes into a larger
   unit.  It is possible to connect to a compound attribute as a whole, or
   to any of the individual children.

   For example, the three attributes RED, GREEN, and BLUE could be grouped into
   a compound attribute of type COLOR.  It is then possible to connect two
   COLOR attributes together.  This removes the need to connect each child
   explicitly.

   A second use for compound attributes is when there are multi attributes that
   relate to each other on an element-by-element basis.  An example of this
   is the weighted matrix node that has a multi attribute with matrices that
   must be matched with the multi attribute that provides the weights for each
   matrix.
