/// \class UsdAPISchemaBase
///
/// The base class for all \em API schemas.
/// 
/// An API schema provides an interface to a prim's qualities, but does not
/// specify a typeName for the underlying prim. The prim's qualities include 
/// its inheritance structure, attributes, relationships etc. Since it cannot
/// provide a typeName, an API schema is considered to be non-concrete. 
/// 
/// To auto-generate an API schema using usdGenSchema, simply leave the 
/// typeName empty and make it inherit from "/APISchemaBase" or from another 
/// API schema. See UsdModelAPI, UsdClipsAPI and UsdCollectionAPI for examples.
/// 
/// API schemas are classified into applied and non-applied API schemas. 
/// The author of an API schema has to decide on the type of API schema 
/// at the time of its creation by setting customData['apiSchemaType'] in the 
/// schema definition (i.e. in  the associated primSpec inside the schema.usda 
/// file).  UsdAPISchemaBase implements methods that are used to record the 
/// application of an API schema on a USD prim.
/// 
/// If an API schema only provides an interface to set certain core bits of 
/// metadata (like UsdModelAPI, which sets model kind and UsdClipsAPI, which 
/// sets clips-related metadata) OR if the API schema can apply to any type of 
/// prim or only to a known fixed set of prim types OR if there is no use of 
/// recording the application of the API schema, in such cases, it would be 
/// better to make it a non-applied API schema. Examples of non-applied API 
/// schemas include UsdModelAPI, UsdClipsAPI, UsdShadeConnectableAPI and
/// UsdGeomPrimvarsAPI.
/// 
/// If there is a need to discover (or record) whether a prim contains or 
/// subscribes to a given API schema, it would be advantageous to make the API 
/// schema be "applied". In general, API schemas that add one or more properties 
/// to a prim should be tagged as applied API schemas. A public Apply() method 
/// is generated for applied API schemas by usdGenSchema. An applied API schema 
/// must be applied to a prim via a call to the generated Apply() method, for 
/// the schema object to evaluate to true when converted to a bool using the 
/// explicit bool conversion operator. Examples of applied API schemas include
/// UsdCollectionAPI, UsdGeomModelAPI and UsdGeomMotionAPI
/// 
/// \anchor UsdAPISchemaBase_SingleVsMultipleApply
/// \name Single vs. Multiple Apply API Schemas
/// 
/// Applied API schemas can further be classified into single-apply and 
/// multiple-apply API schemas. As the name suggests, a single-apply API schema 
/// can only be applied once to a prim. A multiple-apply API schema can be 
/// applied multiple times with different 'instanceName' values. An example of 
/// a multiple-apply API schema is UsdCollectionAPI, where the API schema is 
/// applied to a prim once for every collection owned by the prim. 
/// 
/// \note An applied API schema can only inherit from another applied API 
/// schema or directly from APISchemaBase. Similarly, a non-applied API schema 
/// can only inherit from a non-applied API Schema or directly from 
/// APISchemaBase. 'usdGenSchema' attempts to issue a warning if it detects 
/// an incompatibility.
/// 
/// \note A multiple-apply API schema may not inherit from a single-apply API 
/// schema and vice versa. 
/// 
/// \note When the bool-conversion operator is invoked on an applied API 
/// schema, it evaluates to true only if the application of the API schema has
/// been recorded on the prim via a call to the auto-generated Apply() method.
/// 
///
