//== CLASS DEFINITION =========================================================

/// This class provides low-level property management like adding/removing
/// properties and access to properties. Under most circumstances, it is
/// advisable to use the high-level property management provided by
/// PropertyManager, instead.
///
/// All operations provided by %BaseKernel need at least a property handle
/// (VPropHandleT, EPropHandleT, HPropHandleT, FPropHandleT, MPropHandleT).
/// which keeps the data type of the property, too.
///
/// There are two types of properties:
/// -# Standard properties - mesh data (e.g. vertex normal or face color)
/// -# Custom properties - user defined data
///
/// The differentiation is only semantically, technically both are
/// equally handled. Therefore the methods provided by the %BaseKernel
/// are applicable to both property types.
///
/// \attention Since the class PolyMeshT derives from a kernel, hence all public
/// elements of %BaseKernel are usable.
