//       Class : ActorNode
// Description : Like a physical node, but with a little more.  The
//               actornode assumes responsibility for its own
//               transform, and changes in its own PhysicsObject will
//               be reflected as transforms.  This relation goes both
//               ways; changes in the transform will update the
//               object's position (shoves).
