/**

Abstract base class for all math objects.  A math insets is for use of the
math editor only, it isn't a general LyX inset. It's used to represent all
the math objects.

Math insets do not know there parents, a cursor position or things
like that. The are dumb object that are contained in other math insets
(MathNestInsets, in fact) thus forming a tree. The root of this tree is
always a MathHullInset, which provides an interface to the Outer World by
inclusion in the "real LyX insets" FormulaInset and FormulaMacroInset.
