//       Class : BamFile
// Description : The principle public interface to reading and writing
//               Bam disk files.  See also BamReader and BamWriter,
//               the more general implementation of this class.
//
//               Bam files are most often used to store scene graphs
//               or subgraphs, and by convention they are given
//               filenames ending in the extension ".bam" when they
//               are used for this purpose.  However, a Bam file may
//               store any arbitrary list of TypedWritable objects;
//               in this more general usage, they are given filenames
//               ending in ".boo" to differentiate them from the more
//               common scene graph files.
