// Example Plugin: maTranslator.cpp
//
// This plugin is an example of a file translator.  Although this is not
// the actual code used by Maya when it creates files in MayaAscii format,
// it nonetheless produces a very close approximation of the of that same
// format.  Close enough that Maya can load the resulting files as if they
// were MayaAscii.
//
// Currently, the plugin does not support the following:
//
//   o  Export Selection.  The plugin will only export entire scenes.
//
//   o  Referencing files into the default namespace, or using a renaming
//      prefix.  It only supports referencing files into a separate
//      namespace.
//
//   o  MEL reference files.
//
//   o  Size hints for multi plugs.
