 *
 * COMMENTS:
 *      This is a base class for custom attribute evaluators used with the
 *      @ function in HScript. Currently used by SOPs, LOPs and PDG.
 *
 *      The constructor will parse the attribute name to determine if there
 *      is a component number or letter. For example, @foo.x, @color.r,
 *      @coord.u or @pdg_input.5.
 *
 *      Optionally, it can also be configured to check for a color :pad 
 *      value. This is currently only used by PDG attributes. For example,
 *      @pdg_index:4 to pad the index value to 4 digits. The color must
 *      be processed prior to the component extension to allow for the
 *      syntax @attrib.y:2.
