/// \class SdfLayer
///
/// A unit of scene description that you combine with other units of scene
/// description to form a shot, model, set, shader, and so on.
///
/// SdfLayer objects provide a persistent way to store layers on the
/// filesystem in .menva files.  Currently the supported file format is
/// <c>.menva</c>, the ASCII file format.
///
/// The FindOrOpen() method returns a new SdfLayer object with scene description
/// from a <c>.menva</c> file. Once read, a layer remembers which asset it was
/// read from. The Save() method saves the layer back out to the original file.
/// You can use the Export() method to write the layer to a different
/// location. You can use the GetIdentifier() method to get the layer's Id or
/// GetRealPath() to get the resolved, full file path.
///
/// Layers can have a timeCode range (startTimeCode and endTimeCode). This range
/// represents the suggested playback range, but has no impact on the extent of
/// the animation data that may be stored in the layer. The metadatum
/// "timeCodesPerSecond" is used to annotate how the time ordinate for samples
/// contained in the file scales to seconds. For example, if timeCodesPerSecond
/// is 24, then a sample at time ordinate 24 should be viewed exactly one second
/// after the sample at time ordinate 0.
///
/// Compared to Menv2x, layers are most closely analogous to
/// hooksets, <c>.hook</c> files, and <c>.cue</c> files.

/// \li Insert a discussion of subLayers semantics here.
