/**
@brief Base for scene converter plugins
@m_since{2020,06}

Provides functionality for converting meshes and other scene data between
various formats or performing optimizations and other operations on them. See
@ref plugins for more information and `*SceneConverter` classes in the
@ref Trade namespace for available scene converter plugins.

@section Trade-AbstractSceneConverter-data-dependency Data dependency

The instances returned from various functions *by design* have no dependency on
the importer instance and neither on the dynamic plugin module. In other words,
you don't need to keep the importer instance (or the plugin manager instance)
around in order to have the `*Data` instances valid. Moreover, all
@ref Corrade::Containers::Array instances returned through @ref MeshData and
others are only allowed to have default deleters --- this is to avoid potential
dangling function pointer calls when destructing such instances after the
plugin module has been unloaded.

@section Trade-AbstractSceneConverter-subclassing Subclassing

The plugin needs to implement the @ref doFeatures() function and one or more of
@ref doConvert(), @ref doConvertInPlace(), @ref doConvertToData() or
@ref doConvertToFile() functions based on what features are supported.

You don't need to do most of the redundant sanity checks, these things are
checked by the implementation:

-   The function @ref doConvert(const MeshData&) is called only if
    @ref SceneConverterFeature::ConvertMesh is supported.
-   The function @ref doConvertInPlace(MeshData&) is called only if
    @ref SceneConverterFeature::ConvertMeshInPlace is supported.
-   The function @ref doConvertToData(const MeshData&) is called only if
    @ref SceneConverterFeature::ConvertMeshToData is supported.
-   The function @ref doConvertToFile(const std::string&, const MeshData&) is
    called only if @ref SceneConverterFeature::ConvertMeshToFile is supported.

@m_class{m-block m-warning}

@par Dangling function pointers on plugin unload
    As @ref Trade-AbstractSceneConverter-data-dependency "mentioned above",
    @ref Corrade::Containers::Array instances returned from plugin
    implementations are not allowed to use anything else than the default
    deleter or the deleter used by @ref Trade::ArrayAllocator, otherwise this
    could cause dangling function pointer call on array destruction if the
    plugin gets unloaded before the array is destroyed. This is asserted by the
    base implementation on return.
