/// \class HdSt_DependencySceneIndexPlugin
///
/// Plugin adds a scene index that declares Storm-specific dependencies to
/// trigger the necessary invalidation.
///
/// Currently, the scene index has two uses.
///
/// 1) For volumes.
/// Specfically, the declaration allows the volumeFieldBinding data source
/// locator of a volume prim to be invalidated if any of the targeted volume 
/// fields changes.
/// That is, if, e.g., the filePath of a volume field changes, then the volume
/// using that volume field will be dirtied so that HdStVolume will update
/// which 3d textures it will use.
///
/// 2) For meshes.
/// Adding dependency of the material binding on the material datasource
/// of the bound material.
/// Recall that a mesh has to be quadrangulated if the bound material is using
/// any ptex texture. If there is any change to the material, this scene index
/// will dirty the mesh's materialBindings locator. This causes a
/// HdStMesh::Sync with the HdChangeTracker::DirtyMaterialId dirty bit set so
/// the mesh will re-evaluate whether the bound material is using any ptex
/// texture.
