Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
shadingNode is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT editable.
The shadingNode command classifies any DG node as a shader, texture
light, post process, or utility so that it can be properly organized
in the multi-lister. Recall that any DG node can be used a part of a
a shader, texture or light - regardless of how it is classified by this.
