///The btTriangleMesh class is a convenience class derived from btTriangleIndexVertexArray, that provides storage for a concave triangle mesh. It can be used as data for the btBvhTriangleMeshShape.
///It allows either 32bit or 16bit indices, and 4 (x-y-z-w) or 3 (x-y-z) component vertices.
///If you want to share triangle/index data between graphics mesh and collision mesh (btBvhTriangleMeshShape), you can directly use btTriangleIndexVertexArray or derive your own class from btStridingMeshInterface.
///Performance of btTriangleMesh and btTriangleIndexVertexArray used in a btBvhTriangleMeshShape is the same.
///It has a brute-force option to weld together closeby vertices.
