/* Overview of how this system works:
 *      1) Depsgraph sorts data as necessary, so that data is in an order that means 
 *              that all dependences are resolved before dependants.
 *      2) All normal animation is evaluated, so that drivers have some basis values to
 *              work with
 *              a.      NLA stacks are done first, as the Active Actions act as 'tweaking' tracks
 *                      which modify the effects of the NLA-stacks
 *              b.      Active Action is evaluated as per normal, on top of the results of the NLA tracks
 *
 * --------------< often in a separate phase... >------------------ 
 *
 *      3) Drivers/expressions are evaluated on top of this, in an order where dependences are
 *              resolved nicely. 
 *         Note: it may be necessary to have some tools to handle the cases where some higher-level
 *              drivers are added and cause some problematic dependencies that didn't exist in the local levels...
 *
 * --------------< always executed >------------------ 
 *
 * Maintainance of editability of settings (XXX):
 *      In order to ensure that settings that are animated can still be manipulated in the UI without requiring
 *      that keyframes are added to prevent these values from being overwritten, we use 'overrides'. 
 *
 * Unresolved things:
 *      - Handling of multi-user settings (i.e. time-offset, group-instancing) -> big cache grids or nodal system? but stored where?
 *      - Multiple-block dependencies (i.e. drivers for settings are in both local and higher levels) -> split into separate lists? 
 *
 * Current Status:
 *      - Currently (as of September 2009), overrides we haven't needed to (fully) implement overrides. 
 *        However, the code fo this is relatively harmless, so is left in the code for now.
