    /**
    @brief
        The WorldEntity represents everything that can be put in a Scene at a certain location.

        It is supposed to be the base class of everything you would call an 'object' in a Scene.
        The class itself is abstract which means you cannot use it directly. You may use StaticEntity
        as the simplest derivative or (derived from MobileEntity) MovableEntity and ControllableEntity
        as more advanced ones.

        The basic task of the WorldEntity is provide a location, a direction and a scaling and the possibility
        to create an entire hierarchy of derived objects.
        It is also the basis for the physics interface to the Bullet physics engine.
        Every WorldEntity can have a specific collision type: @see CollisionType
        This would then imply that every scene object could have any collision type. To limit this, you can always
        override this->isCollisionTypeLegal(CollisionType). Return false if the collision type is not supported
        for a specific object.
        There is also support for attaching WorldEntities with physics to each other. Currently, the collision shape
        of both objects simply get merged into one larger shape (for static collision type).
        The physical body that is internally stored and administrated has the following supported properties:
        - Restitution, angular factor, linear damping, angular damping, friction, mass and collision shape.
        You can get more information at the corresponding set function.

        Collision shapes: These are controlled by the internal WorldEntityCollisionShape. @see WorldEntityCollisionShape.
