//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// Class LLCategory
//
// An instance of the LLCategory class represents a particular
// category in a hierarchical classification system. For now, it is 4
// levels deep with 255 (minus 1) possible values at each level. If a
// non zero value is found at level 4, that is the leaf category,
// otherwise, it is the first level that has a 0 in the next depth
// level.
//
// To output the names of all top level categories, you could do the
// following:
//
//	S32 count = LLCategory::none.getSubCategoryCount();
//	for(S32 i = 0; i < count; i++)
//	{
//		llinfos << none.getSubCategory(i).lookupNmae() << llendl;
//	}
