    ///     queues up a StateSet that we want to modify for the next frame. To solve this we could set the StateSet to
    ///     DYNAMIC data variance but that would undo all the benefits of the threading model - having the cull and draw
    ///     traversals run in parallel can yield up to 200% framerates.

    ///     one StateSet we can write to, the second one is currently in use by the draw traversal of the last frame.
    /// @par Must be set as UpdateCallback or CullCallback on a Node. If set as a CullCallback, the StateSetUpdater operates on an empty StateSet, otherwise it operates on a clone of the node's existing StateSet.
