    /** Class defining a single pass of a Technique (of a Material), ie
        a single rendering call. 
    @remarks
        Rendering can be repeated with many passes for more complex effects.
        Each pass is either a fixed-function pass (meaning it does not use
        a vertex or fragment program) or a programmable pass (meaning it does
        use either a vertex and fragment program, or both). 
    @par
        Programmable passes are complex to define, because they require custom
        programs and you have to set all constant inputs to the programs (like
        the position of lights, any base material colours you wish to use etc), but
        they do give you much total flexibility over the algorithms used to render your
        pass, and you can create some effects which are impossible with a fixed-function pass.
        On the other hand, you can define a fixed-function pass in very little time, and
        you can use a range of fixed-function effects like environment mapping very
        easily, plus your pass will be more likely to be compatible with older hardware.
        There are pros and cons to both, just remember that if you use a programmable
        pass to create some great effects, allow more time for definition and testing.

        are rendered - this is a common approach and is used in 3D studio models for example. You can
        alter this culling mode if you wish but it is not advised unless you know what you are doing.

                @remarks
                        The default behaviour for a pass (when this option is 'false'), is 
                        for a pass to be rendered only once, with all the lights which could
                        affect this object set at the same time (up to the maximum lights
                        allowed in the render system, which is typically 8). 
                @par
                        Setting this option to 'true' changes this behaviour, such that 
                        instead of trying to issue render this pass once per object, it
                        is run once <b>per light</b> which can affect this object. In
                        this case, only light index 0 is ever used, and is a different light
                        every time the pass is issued, up to the total number of lights
                        which is affecting this object. This has 2 advantages:
                        <ul><li>There is no limit on the number of lights which can be 
                        supported</li>
                        <li>It's easier to write vertex / fragment programs for this because
                        a single program can be used for any number of lights</li>
                        </ul>
                        However, this technique is a lot more expensive, and typically you
                        will want an additional ambient pass, because if no lights are 
                        affecting the object it will not be rendered at all, which will look
                        odd even if ambient light is zero (imagine if there are lit objects
                        behind it - the objects silhouette would not show up). Therefore,
                        use this option with care, and you would be well advised to provide
                        a less expensive fallback technique for use in the distance.
                @note
                        The number of times this pass runs is still limited by the maximum
                        number of lights allowed as set in setMaxSimultaneousLights, so
                        you will never get more passes than this.

        shadows). Whilst Ogre can arrange this for the fixed function

        programs still to run in order to preserve any deformation etc
        that it does. However, lighting calculations must be a lot simpler, 
        with only the ambient colour being used (which the engine will ensure

        @par
        Therefore, it is up to implemetors of vertex programs to provide an
        alternative vertex program which can be used to render the object

        @note
        Some vertex programs will work without doing this, because Ogre ensures
        that all lights except for ambient are set black. However, the chances
        are that your vertex program is doing a lot of unnecessary work in this
        case, since the other lights are having no effect, and it is good practice
        to supply an alternative.
