+// Description : This is the base class for all GSG-specific context
+//               objects, such as TextureContext and GeomContext.  It
+//               exists mainly to provide some structural
+//               organization.  At the moment, there are no methods
+//               common to all of these objects, but there might be
+//               one day.
