30 @file
31    Contains the header of the WorldEntityShader class.
32 @brief
33    WorldEntityShader will be used in the future for "non-material" shaders that depend on WorldEntity data of the creator (such as their world position, orientation, etc.). "Non-material" means that they are not depending on a polygon-mesh of the creator (but can), simply rendering them. Therefore its best purpose is to implement screenspace-effects (e.g. Compositor).
34    Motivation & Advantages:
35        - WorldEntityShader's classes can be initalized and attached in every other WorldEntity object by XML. This makes leveldesign much more easy.
36        - No id managment of the creators has to be done. Everything can be nested.
37   
38    Case scenarios would be coronas (position), godrays, etc.
39 
40    Some sort of implementation already exists: The GodrayShader class uses the same approach. It can be used as a (raw) template.
