//
// CLASS DESCRIPTION (MDataBlock)
//
//   An MDataBlock provides storage for the data being received by or sent by
//   the node.  It is the data for the plugs and attributes of the node.  The
//   data block is only valid during the compute method of the depend node,
//   and should not be stored.
//
//   Access to the data in an MDataBlock is done using an MDataHandle or an
//   MArrayDataHandle.
//
