/** Abstract class reprensenting a loadable resource (e.g. textures, sounds etc)
@remarks
Resources are data objects that must be loaded and managed throughout
an application. A resource might be a mesh, a texture, or any other
piece of data - the key thing is that they must be identified by
a name which is unique, must be loaded only once,
must be managed efficiently in terms of retrieval, and they may
also be unloadable to free memory up when they have not been used for
a while and the memory budget is under stress.
@par
All Resource instances must be a member of a resource group; see
ResourceGroupManager for full details.
@par
Subclasses must implement:
- A constructor, overriding the same parameters as the constructor
defined by this class. Subclasses are not allowed to define
constructors with other parameters; other settings must be
settable through accessor methods before loading.
- The loadImpl() and unloadImpl() methods - mSize must be set
after loadImpl()
- StringInterface ParamCommand and ParamDictionary setups
in order to allow setting of core parameters (prior to load)
through a generic interface.

/** Shared pointer to a Resource.
@remarks
This shared pointer allows many references to a resource to be held, and
when the final reference is removed, the resource will be destroyed.
Note that the ResourceManager which created this Resource will be holding
at least one reference, so this resource will not get destroyed until
someone removes the resource from the manager - this at least gives you
strong control over when resources are freed. But the nature of the
shared pointer means that if anyone refers to the removed resource in the
meantime, the resource will remain valid.
@par
You may well see references to ResourcePtr (i.e. ResourcePtr&) being passed
around internally within Ogre. These are 'weak references' ie they do
not increment the reference count on the Resource. This is done for
efficiency in temporary operations that shouldn't need to incur the
overhead of maintaining the reference count; however we don't recommend
you do it yourself since these references are not guaranteed to remain valid.
*/

/** Interface describing a manual resource loader.
@remarks
Resources are usually loaded from files; however in some cases you
want to be able to set the data up manually instead. This provides
some problems, such as how to reload a Resource if it becomes
unloaded for some reason, either because of memory constraints, or
because a device fails and some or all of the data is lost.
@par
This interface should be implemented by all classes which wish to
provide manual data to a resource. They provide a pointer to themselves
when defining the resource (via the appropriate ResourceManager),
and will be called when the Resource tries to load.
They should implement the loadResource method such that the Resource
is in the end set up exactly as if it had loaded from a file,
although the implementations will likely differ between subclasses
of Resource, which is why no generic algorithm can be stated here.
@note
The loader must remain valid for the entire life of the resource,
so that if need be it can be called upon to re-load the resource
at any time.
