/**
@brief Base for object features

Contained in @ref Object, takes care of transformation caching. See
@ref scenegraph for introduction.

Uses @ref Corrade::Containers::LinkedList for accessing holder object and
sibling features.

## Subclassing

Feature is templated on dimension count and underlying transformation type, so
it can be used only on object having transformation with the same dimension
count and type.

### Caching transformations in features

Features can cache absolute transformation of the object instead of computing
it from scratch every time to achieve better performance. See
@ref scenegraph-features-caching for introduction.

In order to have caching, you must enable it first, because by default the
caching is disabled. You can enable it using @ref setCachedTransformations()
and then implement corresponding cleaning function(s) -- either @ref clean(),
@ref cleanInverted() or both. Example:
@code
class CachingFeature: public SceneGraph::AbstractFeature3D {
    public:
        explicit CachingFeature(SceneGraph::AbstractObject3D& object): SceneGraph::AbstractFeature3D{object} {
            setCachedTransformations(CachedTransformation::Absolute);
        }

    private:
        void clean(const Matrix4& absoluteTransformationMatrix) override {
            _absolutePosition = absoluteTransformationMatrix.translation();
        }

        Vector3 _absolutePosition;
};
@endcode

Before using the cached value explicitly request object cleaning by calling
`object()->setClean()`.

### Accessing object transformation

The feature has by default only access to @ref AbstractObject, which doesn't
know about any used transformation. By using small template trick in the
constructor it is possible to gain access to transformation interface in the
constructor:
@code
class TransformingFeature: public SceneGraph::AbstractFeature3D {
    public:
        template<class T> explicit TransformingFeature(SceneGraph::Object<T>& object):
            SceneGraph::AbstractFeature3D{object}, _transformation{object} {}

    private:
        SceneGraph::AbstractTranslationRotation3D& _transformation;
};
@endcode

See @ref scenegraph-features-transformation for more detailed information.

## Explicit template specializations

The following specializations are explicitly compiled into @ref SceneGraph
library. For other specializations (e.g. using @ref Magnum::Double "Double" type)
you have to use @ref AbstractFeature.hpp implementation file to avoid linker
errors. See also @ref compilation-speedup-hpp for more information.
