# Node class definition.  The class methods simply wrap the
# low level exention functions which work on a "ghost" handle to a
# SGPropertyNode object stored in the _g field.
#
# Not all of the features of SGPropertyNode are supported.  There is
# no support for ties, obviously, as that wouldn't make much sense
# from a Nasal context.  The various get/set methods work only on the
# local node, there is no equivalent of the "relative path" variants
# available in C++; just use node.getNode(path).whatever() instead.
# There is no support for the "listener" interface yet.  The aliasing
# feature isn't exposed, except that you can get an "ALIAS" return
# from getType to detect them (to avoid cycles while walking the
# tree).

#   text : { x : 10, y : 70, label : "Hello World!" } };
