            Objects are grouped by material to minimise rendering state changes. The map from
            material to renderable object is wrapped in a class for ease of use.
        @par
            This class now includes the concept of 'queue groups' which allows the application
            adding the renderable to specifically schedule it so that it is included in 
            a discrete group. Good for separating renderables into the main scene,
            backgrounds and overlays, and also could be used in the future for more
            complex multipass routines like stenciling.
