/*!
  MFnContainerNode is the function set for creating, querying and
  editing containers.

  Maya uses container nodes to bundle sets of related nodes
  together with a published attribute list that defines the primary
  interface to those nodes. This class allows you to query information
  about container nodes in the Maya scene.
