// .NAME vtkExecutive - Superclass for all pipeline executives in VTK.
// .SECTION Description
// vtkExecutive is the superclass for all pipeline executives in VTK.
// A VTK executive is responsible for controlling one instance of
// vtkAlgorithm.  A pipeline consists of one or more executives that
// control data flow.  Every reader, source, writer, or data
// processing algorithm in the pipeline is implemented in an instance
// of vtkAlgorithm.

  // Description:
  // A special version of ProcessRequest meant specifically for the

  // the request is called so often and it travels the full length of
  // the pipeline.  We augment the signature with method arguments
  // containing the common information, specifically the output port
  // through which the request was made and the resulting modified
  // time.  Note that unlike ProcessRequest the request information
  // object may be NULL for this method.  It also does not contain a
  // request identifcation key because the request is known from the
  // method name.
