Abstract
--------

General skeleton, rig or armature class.
A skeleton is a hierarchic structure of bones, defined between a head and tail
joint position. Bones can be detached from each other (their head joint doesn't
necessarily need to be at the same position as the tail joint of their parent
bone).

A pose can be applied to the skeleton by setting a pose matrix for each of the
bones, allowing static posing or animation playback.
The skeleton supports skinning of a mesh using a list of vertex-to-bone
assignments.
