 *     This class is not directly wrapped by swig.  However, when creating
 *     the swig wrapper modules we wrap each of the methods of this class
 *     in functions in $SHC/HOM/HOM_TopLevel.h.  This way, the methods of this
 *     class appear as the top-level parts of the hou module.
 *     Note that this also means SWIGOUT(%newobject fooMethod;) directives are
 *     not here but in HOM_TopLevel.h instead.
