/*!\plugin{shapegroup}{Shape group for geometry instancing}
 * \order{8}
 * \parameters{
 *     \parameter{\Unnamed}{\Shape}{One or more shapes that should be
 *         made available for geometry instancing}
 * }
 * 
 * This plugin implements a container for shapes that should be
 * made available for geometry instancing. Any shapes placed in a 
 * \pluginref{shapegroup} will not be visible on their own---instead, the
 * renderer will precompute ray intersection acceleration data structures
 * so that they can efficiently be referenced many times using the 
 * \pluginref{instance} plugin. This is useful for rendering things like 
 * forests, where only a few distinct types of trees have to be kept
 * in memory. 
 *
 * \remarks{
 *   \item Note that it is currently not possible to assign a different
 *    material to each instance --- the material assignment specified within
 *    the shape group is the one that matters.
 *   \item Shape groups can currently not be used to replicate shapes with
 *   attached emitters, sensors, or subsurface integrators.
 * }
