    @remarks
        This is a specialisation of OverlayElement for 2D elements that contain other
        elements. These are also the smallest elements that can be attached directly
        to an Overlay.
    @remarks
        OverlayContainers should be managed using OverlayManager. This class is responsible for
        instantiating / deleting elements, and also for accepting new types of element
        from plugins etc.
