//     Function: MaterialPool::get_material
//       Access: Public, Static
//  Description: Returns a const Material pointer that represents the
//               same material described by temp, except that it is a
//               shared pointer.
//
//               Each call to get_material() passing an equivalent
//               Material pointer will return the same shared pointer.
//
//               This shared pointer must not be further modified.
//               Doing so will (a) cause global changes to other
//               objects that may share this material, and (b) damage
//               the sorted container that stores these things, so
//               that future pointers may not be properly shared.
//
//               Also, the return value may be a different pointer
//               than that passed in, or it may be the same pointer.
//               In either case, the passed in pointer has now been
//               sacrificed to the greater good and should not be used
//               again (like any other PointerTo, it will be freed
//               when the last reference count is removed).

//               materials that are not being used outside of the pool.
